We have this large dependency on the latest xerces for pyexpat/elementtree  
support. Ideally we could get OpenJDK to upgrade its xerces, for the 
features we need, then we can rely on it instead of packing our own 
version of the rather large xerces jar

This might be a good Project Coin suggestion, but the deadline is 
tomorrow!

Project Coin is language changes, so this isn't applicable there

JDK 7 promises to "update the XML stack", including JAXP, JAXB:

Hopefully this includes what we want, but we should keep an eye on this
