It seems to me that if we want to ensure that this code in our XML
implementation only loads things when they are endorsed, then it ought
to be using the bootstrap class loader and not the system class
loader, as it currently does.  Using the service files to work around
this seems hackish.

I'm probably really confused though.  I certainly feel confused.
