/**
 * This configuration allows Xerces to behave in a security-conscious manner; that is,

 * operations that could be exploited by malicious document authors to cause a denail-of-service
 * attack when the document is parsed.
 *
 * In addition to the features and properties recognized by the base
 * parser configuration, this class recognizes these additional
