Isn't it just the default that's system wide, and
SAXParser(XMLParserConfiguration) constructor can be used for a non-default?
Also http://www.apache.org/~andyc/neko/doc/html/usage.html has some info on
not letting neko affect every xerces parser instance.

I agree this would be a more sensible approach for SAXBuilder. Indeed 
it's what XOM does. However, this would not solve your specific 
problem. Xerces does not allow you to set the parser configuration on 
an specific XMLReader object. The parser configuration is a VM wide 
property. See
