With all due respect to anyone still running Java 1.4, they are probably 
vulnerable to more vulnerabilities (and of greater severity) than just 
Billion Laughs. If you are still running Java 1.4, why would you be 
bothered to upgrade XOM anyway?

Not that my voice carries any real weight around here, but I would vote 
to drop support for 1.4 unless someone presents a truly compelling 
reason not to.
