Is it in the Apache Xerces or the JDK 1.6 Xerces?

I get the impression they have diverged quite a bit. I'm seeing an awful lot
of nasty bugs that are specific to the JDK 1.6 version of Xerces, to the
point where I've been thinking about whether I can find some way of making
Saxon use the Apache version by default.
