We've a very good collection of test cases, that we run before making
a new XercesJ release. This ensures that, no past issues resolved in
the previous releases are being re-introduced in the new release.

Generally, the newer XercesJ release is better than the previous
release, due to improved implementation and/or new bug fixes.

Generally, any unresolved issues from earlier releases, remain stable
with the newer releases. While making a new XercesJ release, firstly
we publish a release candidate (RC) for review and vote by community.
After the RC is through with the voting process, we push the RC to
production.
