Charlie, you still haven't answered Steve's complete question. You answered which spec, but not which bit of that spec. I may be spec challenged, but I do not see any requirement in the servlet 2.3 spec to use a specific XML parser version.
Do you know what part of the spec mandates this? Is it: "SRV.1.5 Relationship to Java 2, Platform Enterprise Edition The Servlet API v2.3 is a required API of the JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, v1.31. Servlet containers and servlets deployed into them must meet additional requirements, described in the J2EE specification, for executing in a J2EE environment."
