XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

That's primarily to keep the number of methods in the API to a minimum. 
The underlying internal code can take InputStream as well (besides 
other formats). The BuilderPool can only take arguments that can be 
identified uniquely (for caching to work), so an InputStream won't work 
for BuilderPool, while it works for BuilderFactory.

I'd be OK to change BuilderFactory.createMSVBuilder(File) to 
BuilderFactory.createMSVBuilder(InputStream) and keep BuilderPool as it 
is currently. If anyone has an opinion either way, raise your voice and 
let us know.
