this behaviour looks to be deliberately introduced in may last year:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-avalon/src/java/org/apache/avalon/framework/configuration/SAXConfigurationHandler.java

(look at rev1.20). It's got nothing to do with phoenix I think; it's in 
avalon-framework. I'm contacting the developer who made the change (Hi 
Peter!) directly to ask for feedback

Changing the behaviour back might lead to breakages in other areas. I'm 
not sure what to do at this point. Anyone else have a suggestion?

A workaround would be (rather extensive) modification of phoenix to not 
use the SAXConfigurationHandler but your own version.

definately sounds like a bug to me allright. Will happily apply a patch.

As to releases, I need to figure out how to do that before I can do 
so...and a release of fortress is higher on my agenda atm. It'll hence 
be a while if I do it.

I'd say there's a backwards compatibility problem and you're hoping to 
have it fixed @ avalon, and are waiting for that.
