Yes, it really was named [1] after the Xerces Blue [2] butterfly. The
Persian king is "Xerxes" I think; slightly different spelling.

Bit of useless information: X-e-r-c-e-s is the French spelling
of the Persion king, Xerxes, which was used when naming the
Xerces Blue butterfly.

We named the parser after the butterfly since: a) the name
starts with an "X"; b) the butterfly is from the San Francisco
and we did the development in the Bay Area; and c) "Big Blue",
IBM, donated the code that is the Xerces parser.
