Thanks Daniel!  

For the question, it will not be dead code as it accepts systemId in String form as well. But as least when File is the input, we don't end up going through a convoluted (if not unnecessary) File -URI -URL - File conversion. I think the later has sth. to do with the fact that Apache still supports older JDKs. While we agree not to touch that code for this fix (and also for not changing the mechanisms, e.g. how errors are handled), we'll keep an eye out on it.
