XOM API for Processing XML with Java

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

I've uploaded XOM 1.0 beta 4 to the usual location:

http://cafeconleche.org/XOM/

This release is still backwards compatible with 1.0d25. However it does 
deprecate four XSLTransform constructors as discussed on the list. These 
will be removed in the next release. The upside is that XSLT 
transformation should now be much faster and memory efficient since XOM 
is no longer writing documents out into strings and passing those to the 
transform. Instead it is streaming SAX events directly into the 
transformer. Furthermore, implementing this exposed several bugs in the 
SAXConverter (and indirectly one in the DOMConverter) that have now been 
fixed. I've also fixed some minor cosmetic bugs innvolving serialization 
of internal DTD subsets.

Finally, the toXML methods now use \n as their preferred line break 
because this is the most likely line break to be found in text nodes in 
a document parsed from a stream, and I'd prefer to avoid mixed line 
endings in documents. This is only used for insignificant line breaks 
such as the one after the XML declaration, not for line breaks in 
element content and attribute values.  I'm still considering the 
implications of this for serialization.
