      Generic protection against data forgery.  Irrelevant under
      Xerces 3.1, but is a pre-req for the CVE-2018-0489 patch.

      These flaws allow for changes to an XML document that do not break a
      digital signature but alter the user data passed through to applications
      enabling impersonation attacks and exposure of protected information.
