XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo AT metalab.unc.edu>]

In case anyone cares, http://www.xom.nu is now live. For the moment, 
this is just a mirror of the main site. I don't know if I'll 
eventually use this as the primary site or just stick with 
http://www.cafeconleche.org/XOM (which is more reliable and has a lot 
more bandwidth).

Now if I could just get a source code repository running, I'd be set. :-)

I use vim and it seems to handle \n and \r\n uniformly. On the other hand,
Notepad (which I use occasionally) seems to make \n evaporate. I also use
Cygwin, so conv is a solution for swapping line endings efficiently.
