| It isn't. You're right. This should be setFeature on the XMLReader.

Our thinking was that normalization checking can be pretty expensive
and you might want to have the factory return entirely different
classes if the feature was enabled. Asking an XMLReader to reconfigure
itself to do normalization checking seemed like it might be a burden.
But there are no features on the factory yet, and if there's
resistance to adding features just for this feature, so be it.
Be seeing you,
