Given that it's a clear standards compliance issue, albeit one that
only comes up with streams that don't have systemId's set, I would
*really* like to see this fixed in the Xerces 2.0.0 gold build.  Not
only is it a very definite bug, but having to do a workaround in Xalan
builds would be 1) dangerous, especially for future maintenance, and 2)
difficult to support, since if a user did come up against this problem,
it take time to dissect the problem to the point where we say 'ah,
that's a known bug; here's the workaround'.

Actually the Xalanites do have one other pertinent bug open with
Xerces, Bugzilla#6046: although I haven't proven it's a Xerces bug, it
only shows up when switching recent Xerces parser code, so it's clearly
some change in behavior on the parser's part.  More details to follow,
I hope.
