I am not willing to make XOM depend on Java 1.4 features. Possibly I could look at doing some nasty reflection hacks to use these only if they're available (though that would be post-1.0) but for now I'm sticking with what's available in 1.2, and I don't think a backport to 1.1 would be impossible.

That said, I suspect that in 1.4 the String class uses java.nio internally. I suspect the comparison is really between Strings in 1.4 and String in earlier JDKs, but I could be wrong about that.
