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.
