I ran into the same problem while implementing XMLWriter from
java.util.logging.  I found a small class called XMLWriter.java,
written by James Clark in his XP library, which did the trick.  It's
under an XFree86-style license; but this would need to be assigned to
the FSF for inclusion into Classpath, right?

BTW, java.util.logging also needs the new StackTraceElement stuff, so
I'm glad you're working on that.
