XOM always looks for Xerces first if you don't ask for a specific 
parser. If it's in your classpath it will be used in preference to 
Crimson.

Everyone who's excited about using Crimson should realize that it has 
lots of really nasty bugs. Some of them I can't work around. Crimson 
is not a high quality parser, and should not be used when accuracy is 
important.
