XOM API for Processing XML with Java

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

I'm currently making a push to finish up the last few API issues in 
the XOM TODO list so I can move from a development release to an 
alpha release. The goal is that once I declare XOM alpha there won't 
be any breaking API changes without a very good reason.

One of the changes I'm considering making before that point is 
changing the name of the NodeList class to Nodes. This has several 
advantages:

1. Consistent with Elements and Attributes
2. No confusion or conflict with the DOM NodeList interface
3. Does not incorrectly imply that a NodeList is a java.util.List

Downside:

1. It's somewhat harder to distinguish in speech, especially for 
non-native speakers. It may not always be clear whether I'm talking 
about a Node or Nodes object.

Thoughts?
