Hi Konrad, The document element (node) is never passed to an LSParserFilter. It says that clearly in the Javadoc [1].
Please also note that you're not using Apache Xerces at all. The implementation which ships in the Oracle JDK is a fork of the Apache code base which Oracle/Sun has made all sorts of changes and additions to. If you are experiencing issues with that code base you would need to pursue it with Oracle. We have no influence over what they include in their versions. Thanks.
