Re[3]: XMLC and Xerces 2

Hello Jacob,

Sorry, I got a bit confused as I wrote the last message.

org.apache.xerces.dom3 package does exist and org.w3c.dom3 won't ever
exist.  It will always be underneath the org.w3c.dom package.  Sorry,
I wasn't thinking.

Anway, it is implemented, but since dom3 stuff like
org.w3c.dom.DOMImplementationSource don't yet exist in Xerces2, it
does look like they don't yet officially support it.

Again, sorry for confusing the issue.

Jake
