     * </code> format and contains the fully qualified name of the
     * implementation class with the key being the system property defined
     * above.
     * 
     * The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation
     * and it's values are then cached for future use.  If the file does not exist
     * when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are
     * made to check for its existence.  It is not possible to change the value
     * of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
