I just commited the attached patch to fix a typo in XmlParser.java.

Hi Michael,

Actually you have introduced a typo instead, it was correct before. In English, words beginning with 'U' are pronounced with a consonantal 'Y' in front, therefore you say 'a' not 'an'.

 e.g. a university, a uniform, a URL

Another oddity to remember is initial 'H', which can sometimes be preceded by 'a' and sometimes 'an', the rules are dependent on the etymology of the word.

 e.g. a horse, an hotel, an hospice, a hurdle

In any case you need to revert this patch.
