I'm worried about it because I suspect I will have to do some major work 
on either NekoHTML or JTidy for a project I'm working on, and I want to 
understand the situation as clearly as possible, because if that happens 
I *may* have an opportunity to fix Neko properly.

According to the Neko web site....
" The Xerces2 implementation dynamically instantiates the default parser 
configuration to construct parser objects via the Jar service facility. 
The Jar file |nekohtmlXni.jar| contains a |META-INF/services| file that 
is read by Xerces2 implementation for this purpose."

If I understand this correctly, if you don't use nekohtmlXni.jar, then 
you won't have the problem?
