+ <a>
+ <p>Yes, Xerces-J and Xerces-C are Year 2000 compliant.
+ They do not currently use any dates at all (at least until the XML
+ Schema date datatypes are fully supported). However, you may still
+ have Y2K problems if the underlying OS or Java implementation has
+ problems with dates past year 2000 (e.g. OS calls which accept or
+ return year numbers).</p>
+ <p>Most (UNIX) systems store dates internally as signed 32-bit
+ integers which contain the number of seconds since 1st January 1970,
+ so the magic boundary to worry about is the year 2038 and not 2000.
+ But modern operating systems shouldn't cause any trouble at all.</p>
+
