I would second this.  Back three or four months ago I had a transform that was
causing all sorts of odd behavior and when I switched to using Xerces, all the
issues went away *without* any change to the transform.  Everytime I download
a new JDK my immediate step after installation is to put Xerces in
lib/endorsed.
