The move to org.w3c.dom was necessary to support DOM Level 3. Xerces 2.6.2 and prior implemented JAXP 1.2 which endorsed the DOM Level 2 interfaces. To get DOM Level 3 support (the real org.w3c.dom interfaces) you had to compile the source with a special build target or download the pre-compiled DOM Level 3 enabled distribution. org.apache.xerces.dom3 allowed the DOM Level 2 and 3 implementations to co-exist. This package was marked as unstable in the 2.6 docs. I don't think the change is mentioned anywhere in the 2.7 docs, so will make sure an FAQ is added to the website which describes what happened to the package. > > 2.

I'm not sure why they were made abstract rather than having them throw an UnsupportedOperationException like the other methods added to DocumentBuilderFactory, but it's too late to change that now. > Thanks for making this available so quickly.
