I spoke too soon (before testing).  There's a back door, but it's not open
until build() is invoked.

In the sample code below, the filter doesn't have an XMLReader parent at the
time setFeature is invoked, causing setFeature to fail.  The XMLFilter isn't
connected until build() is invoked.

By the way, there already is a backdoor that can be used to set arbitrary
features on JDOM's XMLReader.

    import org.xml.sax.XMLFilter;
    import org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl;

    SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
    XMLFilter filter = new XMLFilterImpl(); // backdoor
    builder.setXMLFilter(filter);
    filter.setFeature("whatever", true);
    Document doc = builder.build(in);

parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/allow-java-encodings",
true);
