If you're using Sun's Java, it is practically a prerequisite for XML
processing to use Apache Xerces instead of the Sun implementation,
possibly by using the extension override mechanism.

The often-stated reason is that the implementation in Sun Java 1.6 is,
as a highly qualified authority put it, "ridiculously bug-ridden". So
don't use it. Use Apache Xerces, and Xalan, too, if you need it.
