Xerces 2.6.2 [1] was released before DOM Level 3 [2] became W3C
Recommendation. It was compiled with DOM Level 2. The DOM Level 3
implementation wasn't complete and its method signatures differ from the
official DOM Level 3 interfaces in several places. If you're using DOM
Level 3 methods with this version of Xerces your milage may vary.

What is bundled in JDK 5.0 does not correspond to any Apache version.

No.
