/**

 *
 * <p id="DatatypeFactory.newInstance">{@link #newInstance()} is used to create a new <code>DatatypeFactory</code>.
 * The following implementation resolution mechanisms are used in the following order:</p>
 * <ol>
 *    <li>
 *      If the system property specified by {@link #DATATYPEFACTORY_PROPERTY}, "<code>javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory</code>",
 *      exists, a class with the name of the property's value is instantiated.
 *      Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a {@link DatatypeConfigurationException}.
 *    </li>
 *    <li>
 *      If the file ${JAVA_HOME}/conf/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>
 *    <li>
 *      The services resolution mechanism is used, e.g. <code>META-INF/services/java.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory</code>.
 *      Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a {@link DatatypeConfigurationException}.
 *    </li>
 *    <li>
 *      The final mechanism is to attempt to instantiate the <code>Class</code> specified by
 *      {@link #DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS}, "<code>javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactoryImpl</code>".
 *      Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a {@link DatatypeConfigurationException}.
