Earl, while reviewing some of your patches, i see that you appear to be using an old version of xml-commons. Your diffs say "revision 2813", yet the current revision (last change from mrglavas) is 669794.
See the "Where can I get the source code?" section at http://xml.apache.org/commons/ i.e. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/commons/trunk/ -David
