I have good reason to believe that it wasn't forked off stable releases for
Java 5. I recall someone who was using the com.sun.org.apache.xerces.*
version reporting a bug on the Xerces user list that must have been in
unreleased code (something to do with the infrastructure I'd put down to
support EntityResolver2 [1] if I recall correctly; at the time the code was
unreachable through SAX) that I had written in between Xerces 2.6.2 and
2.7.0. That bug has never existed in any released version of Xerces so
expect the snapshot was taken on some arbitrary day between the two
releases. Perhaps the same thing happened with Java 6 and wouldn't be
surprised if it has diverged significantly since then to support APIs like
StAX which we haven't finished implementing here yet.
