Hi Steve and Ian,

One should keep in mind that Xerces 1.3.0 was still on JAXP 1.0 (pretty
much anyway).  I think Edwin took it to 1.1 very shortly after 1.3.0 came
out.  So perhaps this is a difference between the API's (and maybe this
underlies some of Steve's problems)?

If you extract Xerces from cvs you'll get (theoretically) support for JAXP
1.1; not sure how thoroughly tested this is though.

Hope that helps,
Neil

Since Xerces is supposed to implement the JAXP API, I'd guess Sun is right
and Xerces is wrong.
