The parsing code is much deeper, it's down in xmltooling I would think. I
know there's entity resolution code that's doing the classpath-based
lookups of the schemas, which I would think is in xmltooling, but I guess
could be somewhere else. You basically have to find the code calling into
Xerces and work out from there.
