Speed is one thing, but Standard-compliance is another...

When I read from Elliote Rusty Harold that Xerces 2.6+ is the only parser he
knows off to fully implement the XML specs correctly, I take notice.

XmlBeans should not be in the business to providing an XML parser, IMHO, and
should work off abstract APIs only, like JAXP, SAX, and co. The Piccolo
dependency was removed, which is good, but the use of Location was not added
instead, which is the problem.

I'll take accuracy instead of speed anytime myself, and it's your right to
choose the reverse. Let's just not force each other's choice on the other,
right. --DD
