It is not clear to me what is gained by this change...

def parser: SAXParser = {
val p = parserInstance.get
p.reset()

Auto-reset on get leads to surprising changes in behavior, e.g. non-persistence of the settings on XMLLoader.reader, as witnessed by the changes to the test above.
Better place for auto-reset seems to be FactoryAdapter.loadDocument(), but it will then apply to all readers, not just the default one...
Better still would be - in my opinion - not to reuse parsers, readers and factory adapters and not to use thread-locals.

So revert #176?

I am not going to campaign for reverting it, but I am not a fan ;)

override def warning(e: SAXParseException): Unit = gotAnError = true

override def fatalError(e: SAXParseException): Unit = gotAnError = true
})
try {
XML.loadString("<a>")
XML.adapter.loadDocument(Source.fromString("<a>"), reader)

I'd love to make XMLLoader.adapter, NoBindingFactoryAdapter and FactoryAdapter private at some point (and remove some of them altogether), and add XMLLoader.loadDocument(inputSource: InputSource, reader: XMLReader)...

It's really more of a guess... In a non-public codebase we have an UnsafeXML object that's similar to XML but before the safe defaults (#177). We recently applied the same ThreadLocal caching to UnsafeXML as was done in #176 and saw some SaxParserException. But I haven't followed through to understand what's going on exactly or if reset actually fixes it, I'll do that.

Thanks for taking a look.
