What "everybody expects" is a very large quantifier. I can just be a 
prick and say: hey, I did not expect that. ;-)

Depending on xerces might be a valid choice. I don't want to know the 
actual requirements or arguments. But we should just be providing choice.

In this case: use the existing xerces rpm or do it yourself in the way 
you like. :-)
