ID attribute stuff. Build without it, not hard to find all the dependencies.
Doesn't really matter because you also need JAXP 1.3, and that's going to
break you at least as badly, and there's no way you're avoiding that part.

What could possibly break? I would suspect it's JAXP 1.3 that's breaking it,
not the DOM version. DOM3 is a superset of DOM2.
