PullParser 2 driver for Xerces 2.0.1 will work with unpatched Xerces 2.0.1 however when this patch is applied the driver will be able to report event positions and will pass all XPP2 internal tests. Apply the included PATCH file or simply use provided patched JAR (it also fixes bug reported to Xerces 2 mailing list that prevents passing XPP2 tests - see patch for src/org/apache/xerces/impl/XMLNamespaceBinder.java)
