JAXP itself is just a parser API that the parser implements. Nothing big
about that. I wouldn't fret it. It is also under the JCP so that is
supposedly somewhat OSS in that if you bitch loudly enough to enough people,
you will get let in. Well maybe.

Actually, Tomcat 4.x is using Crimson as its parser by default. It is OSS.
Maybe you should use that instead.

p.s. Kevin, it is nice to see that you have finally stopping the PGP signing
of your messages, that was so annoying, however now your .sig has about 10
lines of additional crap at the bottom. Maybe you could compress it a bit.
