JAXP 1.2 conformance section states that all implementations of JAXP

2.0, XSLT 1.0, and DOM Level 2 Core.

So what happens when new versions of the specifications come out, i.e.
XML 1.1 (CR), SAX 2.0.1, XSLT 2.0 and DOM Level 3 Core?

Of those, I think XML 1.1 is the only one that matters. I think the other three are all strict supersets of the earlier specs. (Well, XSLT isn't; but the version attribute lets you figure out which version you've got a hold of.) I don't think you can be compliant with SAX 2.0.1 or DOM3 without being compatible with SAX 2.0 and DOM 2. XML 1.1 is an issue.
