I don't know whether the information is 100% reliable, but the comments in
the Saxon source code record my investigations a while ago:
// This feature name is supported in the version of Xerces
bundled with JDK 1.5
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/xinclude-aware", true);
// This feature name is supported in Xerces 2.9.0
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/xinclude",
true);
Saxon tries both and catches the exceptions if not supported.
The comments are silent on the question of JDK 1.6.
