Ah, I see.  Saxon is a java application that can be used from within
java code, and it includes a command line wrapper as well.  Inside that
wrapper, by default it uses a particular parser, but can be told to use
another.  In fact, Saxon, when run from the command line, can be told to
use different parsers for the source document and the stylesheet, if you
wanted to do that for some reason.

No, msxml is not usable by Saxon.  Any use of Saxon is unrelated to the
use of msxml.
