The reason for this is b/c of the endorsed standards rules for JDK 1.4 where newer versions of sax and dom are allowed, but not javax.xml.{parsers,transform}. There is more info on this at http://xml.apache.org/~edwingo/jaxp-faq.html.

SAX 2.0.1 had a signature change and DOM3 introduces new methods in the
existing interfaces (plus addes new interfaces to the org.w3c.dom
package), and these changes will _not_ allow implementations to pass the
JAXP TCK since the TCK tests that signatures are as definded in the spec
and that no new signatures are added to the interfaces/classes.

This looks like a serious collision waiting to happen... Maybe this is one reason why everything doesn't need to be rolled into the core of J2SE?

I am told there are special rules associated with endorsed standards such as SAX, DOM Level 2 Core, and CORBA that cover this situation.
