I finally pushed an initial draft of the Commons XML Factory project I
proposed back in December [1]:

+1 for whatever that's worth :-)

Hard disagree on suggestions about putting it in Xerces. Having a light-weight, easy-to-review and easy-to-use "library" for this sounds like the best way of getting people to actually use it.

IIRC there was a discussion about where to put this some time ago and no one could come up with a better place than Commons.

In an ideal world, XML parsing libraries would adopt these sane defaults and unsafe behaviour would require explicit configuration instead of vice versa. But a tiny library seems like the next best thing.

Willing to pitch in and have a look at where other Commons projects could benefit from this, I'm sure there are a couple of DocumentBuilderFactories and such lurking around.
