> There are facilities in the standard JDK that can be used instead of directly calling Xerces, specifically {{DatatypeConverter}}. With these changes, only one class relies on Xerces directly, {{XSDDatatype}}.
> We have to be careful though - it is not perfect. I found that {{parseByte}} calls {{parseInt}} and casts the result to a java {{byte}} so it passes "300" and "3000" which are not valid byte lexical forms.
