I think this is the most important issue.

If the default policy is implementation defined as things stand, then 
the effect of specifying "a null arg resets the resolution policy to 
the default" on setEntityResolver amounts to saying "a null arg results 
in implementations defined behaviour". And I don't think that'll make 
anyone happy.
