Maybe we were mistaken, but my team's analysis of CVE-2013-4002 that 
addressed an issue in the JDK, and the fix here that was applied to trunk 
but never released, suggested to me that there's no way to configure any 
released version of Xerces safely unless the input document size is 
limited.

This isn't an XXE issue per se, but it seemed relevant to ask since this 
response seems to reinforce the position that no release can be expected.
