default value for create-entity-ref-nodes varies between Xerces versions ?

The documentation for Xerces features lists the default  for the
http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/create-entity-ref-nodes as being true

Xerces version 2.0.1 seems to have it correctly set to true in the 
implementation

whereas versions above 2.0.1 seem to have it set to false

downloaded the latest builds - 12/21/2002 - and it appears it is also 
currently set to false

Am hoping this is a bug and that the default should still be true as opposed
to the documentation needing to reflect the change as it being false.

When the default for this feature is set to false
Xerces inserts an xml:base attribute into the document tree to reflect
the absolute URI of the external general entity.

When the default is set to true - the xml:base attribute is not inserted

dealing with either from a coding standpoint on this end is easy enough
just hoping for some clarification as to the intended correct default value 
for this
feature.

Thank you,
Dave Flanagan
