I don't find this simpler at all. The simple, obvious solution is to 
either have a separate factory that creates suspendable parsers or have 
a separate getSuspendableReader method. If the client knows they want a 
suspendable parser, then let them ask the factory for one instead of 
asking for some parser and getting back Lord knows what.

It might be worth looking at how JAXP's SAXParserFactory class works and 
consider using something along those lines that allows you to set 
features and properties on the factory rather than on each individual 
XmlReader.
