As Joseph mentioned, there's something of an ongoing debate about these
files.

Xalan simply takes the xml-apis.jar as shipped by the xml-commons
project as-is and uses it, along with the corresponding
xml-commons-src.tar.gz (for building javadoc).  I think we have
whatever was in the 1.0.b2 build from xml-commons.  xml-apis.jar
includes essentially a full copy of SAX 2.0-ish files, DOM Level 2
files, and files equivalent to JAXP 1.1.x.

Xerces originally takes the same files from xml-commons but then may
modify them separately, and packages it's own xmlParserAPIs.jar file. 
This will have mostly the same file versions as in xml-apis.jar, but
the Xerces xmlParserAPIs.jar does not include the javax.xml.transform.*
packages from the JAXP 1.1.x APIs.
