I'm not sure, yet, if it's so easily possible to get the

This could take some additional wiring. At first I was simply thinking
about a classloader-wide setting (i.e. static variable) plus a system
property. After all, it's not just FOP that instantiates Transformers,
but XML Graphics Commons and Batik, too. I'll look into it.
Indeed. Sorry, I write that far too often: "...should 'simply'...",
while it is not at all simple... Hey, maybe I should become a
manager. ;-)
I totally overlooked Commons and Batik. In that case, it could be
worth considering moving this logic to Commons. In that case, if both
Batik and FOP use it, the problem is solved for both. As indicated in
the other thread about the XML APIs, not as a mandatory dependency
that would also affect people who happen to use Commons, but not FOP
or Batik, but as part of a special xmlgraphics-commons.jar that is
built especially for the two sub-projects.
