I'm don't think this is possible in all cases.  I don't know much
about the XML API's specifically, but for example the servlet API
(javax.servlet.*) consists of Java interfaces, abstract classes, and
concrete classes.  For interfaces, it may be ok to require only one
instance (even that is arguable), but for the classes, it is not
fair to allow only one implementation.
