        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        In javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(String), the parameter description
        for uri says:

               uri - Identifies the underlying object model.

        but doesn't say _how_ parameter uri's URI specifies an object model,
        or how to find out permissible value for the parameter.

        Nothing in the method decription for newInstance, the class description for
        XPathFactory, or the package description for javax.xml.xpath says anything
        about URIs for object models.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        Enough information for a programmer to be able to know what to pass.
        ACTUAL -
        See the Description section.
