I am trying to subclass InputSource to allow a File to be
supplied as an alternative to a SystemId, CharacterStream,
etc. (The implementation
of this goes through the magic incantations to turn a file
name into a URL).

This is proving clumsy because the InputSource class has no
default constructor.

Since there is a full range of setX() methods, and given the
general usefulness of having a default constructor e.g. for
JavaBeans / ActiveX,
should this omission be rectified?
