FWIW: I've also seen this error at some point, I believe when unittesting my 
code, *after* adding a parameter to the jvm to endorse xalan/xerces.

I ended up just disabling the SAML component (as it wasn't neccessary for this
particular set of scripts anyway), so this won't help you much. The same
component works fine in production (running in a servlet container which
endorses xalan/xerces), however, so I'm pretty sure the validity of the XML 
isn't the root of the problem.

I'd also be interested in finding out what the cause of and the solution for 
this problem is.
