The Deli classes require Xerces 1.4.4 so badly that it will kill the JVM if it is not there! Please, any maintainers of Deli, get rid of the artificial requirement of the specific Xerces class, and make sure there is no System.exit() calls in the code base. As long as these two problems exist, I cannot in good conscience support it in Cocoon.
