XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[dvholten AT computer.org]

ok - i googled and found out, that it might have to do with 'gothic music, 
nurses, art, flowers ...'

It may even have something to do with 'coma' - and thats not good - this 
should IMO never mentioned in a Java API.
Java is associated with 'agile, alive, progressive, forward leaning - 
maybe coffee, Sumatra etc' - but not 'coma' - that 
were the bytecode-interpreting JVMs in the first years.

You wrote so many good books - maybe you find another word for that

FYI, it's a medical term that means "in a coma", i.e. asleep and not 
waking up. It's was my punnish attempt to indicate that the lists are 
not live like JDOM's and DOM's, but not dead either. They're in 
between. I suppose I could call them undead (or unlive perhaps?) but 
does anyone have a better suggestion.
