Ha - I have.  :-)  I dealt with lots of different configurations of JARs
in trying to determine the most timely, compatible, and convenient set of
libraries to use for the "out of the box" standard-examples.war.  (It's
been a moving target for a while, so I can empathize with it not being
easy to track.)

The short answer, since I'm at JavaOne now and don't have time to suggest
specific URLs and versions, is to use the set of JARs distributed in
standard-examples.war (under WEB-INF/lib).  This is the prepackaged
version of our JSTL "example" pages, and it's distributed with the RI from
jakarta.apache.org/taglibs.

Hope that helps for the short term.  If you remind me when I have more
time, I can describe the histories and principles associated with the
distributions of the various XML parsing and transformation libraries.  
But it's probably just as well that I don't (since it's not particularly
interesting).  :-)
