It didn't exist when Batik started, and no one has done the work to integrate JAXP (across all the applications, build tests to make sure it works, etc - it's not a large amount of work but in the end I don't think it would be a very large improvement).
For me it would be an improvement since I'm deploying Batik in a Servlet and I never know before (and I shouldn't care) which XML parser is running in the Servlet container.
Maybe if some day I'm too bored I'll submit a patch ;-)
Cheers Robert
