That is a little more complicated, but I'm still not sure it's 
insurmountable. They don't have to be dummy versions. Saxon could supply 
the genuine TypeInfo interface from the W3C. This would work in java 1.4 
without any trouble. Does Java 1.5 get upset if third part code tries to 
supply org.w3c.dom interfaces of its own? Or does it just ignore that 
and load the ones it find in the bootclasspath?
