XOM API for Processing XML with Java

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

XOM 1.0d22 has been posted in the usual location:

http://www.cafeconleche.org/XOM/

This is a fairly major release that accumulates many changes that 
have gone into CVS over the last couple of months.  The proximate 
cause for this release was the new XInclude working draft which makes 
a number of changes to XInclude syntax. This release supports the 
*old* XInclude syntax and 2001 namespace URI. Probably the next 
release will only support the new XInclude syntax and namespace URI.

There are a number of breaking changes in this release. Most importantly:

1. ParseException has been renamed ParsingException
2. NodeList has been renamed Nodes.

There are also a number of new features including:

1. The Builder can now validate documents without rejecting invalid 
but well-formed documents.
2. Subclassing of Serializer is much easier
3. DOMConverter can now convert individual DOM nodes into XOM 
objects. It is no longer limited to converting entire documents.
4. Serializer can normalize its output using Unicode normalization form C.

And of course there are lots of new unit tests, sample programs, and 
bug fixes. Complete details can be found on the web page.

Please pound on it and let me know of any problems you find. If 
there's nothing showstopping, I'll announce it more broadly on Cafe 
con Leche in the next day or two.
