xom using xerces 2.6.7 was supposed to be able to do a complete round trip,
have you disproved that?

Yes. SAX parsers can't do 100% perfect round-tripping, they always lose some information, for example, whitespace in elements (i.e. when you put every attribute in it's own line and things like that).

Also, attribute values come with entities already expanded, etc.

There are more cases but these are the ones which are most simple to explain :)
