Good point.  The fix is now in CVS, along with SAX 2.0.1
support, and a new release should be coming soon.

As I recall, that fileToURL() routine throws an IOException
when the file doesn't exist because some versions of the
JDK's URL code don't report that case sanely.  As used in
those javax.xml classes, that problem shouldn't exist.
