The problem is XOM needs to do this. Not performing verification is 
not an option I'm comfortable with. The code assumes the parser has 
verified XML 1.0 well-formedness, and the only way to make current 
versions of Xerces do this is to set that system property to point to 
my own parser configuration. I filed the bug report you referenced to 
try to let me do this just for XOM's parser without stepping all over 
everyone else's parsers, but so far I can't see how to do that.
