Elliotte, I went to www.xom.nu to download a newer version of XOM for the next WURFL API distribution, but, to my surprise, xom-1.1.jar is now 400+ kb, while 1.0 was about 100. Is there any special reason for making the bare-bone distribution so fat? American diet? any way I can get a leaner distribution for packaging with my library or should I stick to the older version?


I'd have to check to make sure, but I suspect a few things contribute to the larger 1.1:

1. jaxen is now bundled
2. XOM does its own normalization handling instead of bundling ICU. XOM 1.0 + ICU (normalizer.jar) was bigger than you have now.
