OK, so let's rule out the option of making them non-URIs. I still 
think they should be resolvable, legal http URLs or just maybe URNs. 
Making them illegal, non-resolvable http URLs is asking for trouble. 
(javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXSource is not a host as required by the 
HTTP 1.1 spec.) It may be too late for the JAXP TrAX classes (I wish 
I'd noticed this in JAXP earlier) but it's not too late for JDOM.
