This is because JDK 1.4.x includes a backlevel copy of Xalan and Crimson in the rt.jar or some other silly place, making them almost impossible to override. Ask Sun about it.
Techniques to use your preferred version of Xalan or to use Xerces are not yet clearly FAQ-documented, but ideas include the bootclasspath noted here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xalan-dev&m=100314673108089&w=2 some discussion on alexandria-dev a while back, and a new java property that overrides *some* extensions that's documented somewhere in the depths of the JDK docs, I've forgotten where.
