As Arnaud mentioned in a previous post, if you absolutely don't want XML 1.1 support you can override the default configuration [1]. This is fairly simple to accomplish and doesn't require you to change any of your code. There are other parser configurations (besides the default) included with the distribution which you can choose to use instead, so you don't need to write one yourself.
