Ah!!!

I'm an idiot.  I've been looking at the Xerces 2.6.2 source code, but not at
the distributed libraries.  Two different animals!  The source code contains
DOM 3 support, but the binaries do not.  I could have saved myself a lot of
trouble by doing this in the first place.  So maybe DOM 3 support will be
distributed in the binaries soon...

Thanks again for the help.

Mike
