Comments
Fix Request (jdk11u) Requesting a jdk11u backport approval of this enhancement for Oracle feature parity. The following changeset applies cleanly to jdk11u-dev and passes tier1 and jaxp_all tests: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/dcb78d2f07e5

XERCESJ-1667 -- the JDK had a different fix in JDK-8146961. XERCESJ-1522 -- I will skip this trivial change for removing trailing spaces in DOMMessages.properties. Not worth another i10n bundle drop.
