Just for the discussion (I've seen Saxon's code ;-), a more efficient 
method would be to only use the List interface and eliminate all 
implementation class references, including initial creation, using a 
"dynamic" Factory. That Factrory could offer, besides some initial 
configuration via property file or whatnot, a runtime method to change 
the implementation at runtime through a console etc.

Cheers,
