XOM API for Processing XML with Java

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

Folks,

I've uploaded what is very likely the final beta release of XOM to the 
usual location:

http://www.xom.nu/

Changes in this release include:

  Various optimizations, especially in namespace URI verification.
  Depending on the nature of your programs you should see speed-ups
  ranging from 0-20%.

  Expanded testing: There are now over one thousand individual
  unit tests.

  A few very minor bug fixes.

  The TagSoup and servlet JARs are no longer bundled. They're not
  needed to run XOM, just for one of the samples and for the JavaDoc.

  The internal, package private Attributes and NonverifyingFactory
  classes have been eliminated. Their functionality is now inlined
  into the classes that used them.

I am not planning any further optimizations or changes before 1.0. All 
that remains to be done is to update the version numbers in the JavaDoc 
to 1.0, and make a couple of edits to the web page.

Please try this release out on your code ASAP and let me know if you 
encounter any problems. If possible I'd like to release 1.0 Wednesday 
night, and certainly before the end of the year.
