Special Dependencies
-----------------------

The special dependencies are the whole JAXP set which required for users
on JDK 1.3.x which doesn't include JAXP. But it is also interesting for
users on JDKs >= 1.4 if they want to replace the default JAXP 
implementation delivered by the JDK.

Replacing the default implementations involves understanding the 
"Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism".
