but according to the specification of org.w3c.dom.DOMConfiguration,
expand-entity-references is not a parameter defined in the DOM.  It
seems to be local to gnu.xml.dom.ls.DomLSParser.

This is all well and good with gnu.xml.dom.ls.DomLSParser, but if we
have Xerces2 installed in our path then we will fail, because Xerces2
does not support expand-entity-references.

Is it the case that
gnu.xml.dom.DomDocumentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder is totally
incompatible with Xerces2?


Please could you file this in Bugzilla and assign it to me, I can see  
the problem and I'll come up with a workaround.

The odd thing is that, as I said before, Sun's
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory will work with Xerces2.

Thanks,

BTW, it seems that setting entities = flase will achieve something
similar, according to
