I saw that one of the release notes for Ant-1.7.0RC1 was...
"Upgraded XML API and parser to Xerces 2.8.1"
You may be interested to know that Xerces has now released version 2.9.0
[1] and, along with it, a proper official release of
xml-commons-external-1.3.04 (otherwise known as xml-apis-1.3.04) [2]. A
number of bug fixes and features were implemented as well. Also note
that as of Xerces 2.9.0, there is now a shared serializer library and
the Xerces native serializers have been deprecated. When serializer.jar
(shipped with both Xerces2 and the next version of Xalan) is in the
classpath, this new shared serialization framework will be used instead
of the deprecated Xerces framework. There's also a new release of
xml-commons-resolver-1.2 [3] which includes a number of features and bug
fixes. I don't think Ant specifically uses that one, but I thought I'd
mention it just in case.
I hope that Xerces-2.9.0, xml-apis-1.3.04, and the new serializer jar
(2.7.1, according the MANIFEST.MF, I guess to match the next version of
Xalan?) can make it into Ant before the official 1.7.0 release.

Jake, are you part of the Xerces team?
We can do this, but we like the stuff in the ibiblio.org repository to
be in sync, if possible, and that's not been the case for the last few
releases
