The version of Xerces bundled with JDK 1.6 seems to be very buggy. I'm not
sure if that's the version you are using here.

Unfortunately yes.

The free-standing Apache
version is much better (as is the JDK 1.5 version).

Oh dear. I simply can't face taking my distro to bits yet again - it's predicated on 1.6. I've spent months over the last 10 years fighting Xerces. Our community just doesn't have the resources to continually reengineer every time it brings out a new version. It's easier to use sed to remove all the DOCTYPEs from every file I parse.
