 *      If the file ${JAVA_HOME}/lib/jaxp.properties exists, it is loaded in a {@link java.util.Properties} <code>Object</code>.
 *      The <code>Properties</code> <code>Object </code> is then queried for the property as documented in the prior step
 *      and processed as documented in the prior step.

 *    <li>
 *      The services resolution mechanism is used, e.g. <code>META-INF/services/java.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory</code>.
