FYI, the Apache XML Security library developers have confirmed that this
is being caused by a bug in their code.  I opened a bug in their Bugzilla:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42597


I also entered an issue in our project JIRA for tracking what we do
about it:
https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/JXT-20


For the time being we'll wait and see when they get it fixed, and
whether a new XML Security library release comes out before we do our
first release of OpenSAML 2.


Thanks,
Brent
