If somebody really wants this he/she can always have his/her own configuration I suppose. But I don't see any use case for this so I wouldn't spend resources on this.
The use case is interoperating with the vast installed base of systems and software that expect and rely on XML 1.0 rules being followed. I for one need and expect a parser to report all well-formedness errors as required by XML 1.0. If Xerces cannot easily be configured to do that, then I will have to consider using another parser. Sadly the number of genuinely conformant parsers written in Java is very small. Up till now Xerces had been clearly the best. Possibly, if I don't find a better alternative, and if there's no simple way to turn Xerces into a conformant parser, then I will have to fork it. :-(
