There are no versions of OpenSAML that use Xerces 1.x. The code itself is
not Xerces-dependent at all, it *requires* JAXP 1.3. That goes for
stable/old and the unreleased version in development.

The common thread is that the only usable JAXP 1.3 parser we know is Xerces
2.x, so in practice it requires that. Could be that other parsers will work,
but Sun's won't.

So, basically, you're confused in some way. Whatever the disparity is, it
sure isn't the Xerces version.
