Now I remember why I always ship versions of Xerces and Xalan, despite
these things being built in.

One of the things that surprises me is: why did sun bother to change
Xerces, other than reparent it? If they want to fix things, put the
fixes in public SVN, where people can review them, and not a
GPL-licensed branch that must do nothing but field support calls.
