That means something's broken in the XML parser in your JBOSS environment.
It's likely not using the endorsed parser we require (and that might fix
it), but more to the point (with an eye on 3.0) it means they have a
broken parser that likely won't work going forward.

We weren't planning to require endorsing anything in the future, but we
can't compensate for a broken parser. Ultimately it comes down to
platforms either working or not working.

There are no plans to support JBoss in any case, and doubly so now that
I'm led to understand they've moved off Tomcat for their code base.
