This is the key. What we are missing is something like
org.w3c.dom.Document javax.xml.Document.createDocument();
backed up with something like
void javax.xml.Document.setFactory(javax.xml.DocumentFactory factory);
and I know Sun is working on hooks like these in the XML API JCP
proposal (don't ask me it's status, though). Let's not forget this: you
shouldn't even _know_ what classes implement your polymorphic
interfaces. This is the beauty of it. So it doesn't really make a
difference org.apache.xml.dom or org.apache.xerces.dom.
Am I wrong?
