This shouldn't be necessary now. JAXP 1.3 includes DOM3 support. I have no
intention of supporting anything prior to JAXP 1.3, so that's why I asked.

I believe the only dependency is probably in the SSL code, and I can
probably bypass that.

(Not to say that I think this is a good idea. JDK 1.3 was EOL'd by Sun.
Using it is just plain bad IT policy.)

Anyway, Cole, my suggestion to start with would be to try pulling cvs and
see what breaks on 1.3.1. The JAXP stuff is in endorsed/ and should just
work on 1.3.1. You'll probably need the JSSE code that was added to 1.3.1,
and then you can see what breaks.
