No. The only (signature) changes to existing classes in the 
transform/xpath packages are the addition of static newInstance(String, 
ClassLoader) methods to TransformerFactory and XPathFactory. 
newInstance(String, ClassLoader) methods were also added to 
DocumentBuilderFactory, SAXParserFactory, SchemaFactory and 
DatatypeFactory.
