XOM API for Processing XML with Java

Yes, based on Jaxen. Look in the archives, but it's not part of the 
core distro of either XOM or Jaxen yet.

You can't really "do" that, but you can write code such that it never 
calls any setter methods or other methods that change the content of 
the document.

That's funny. XOM doesn't generate its own error messages when 
parsing. It just passes along whatever Xerces (or whatever parser 
you're using) tells it.
