XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

Might be a tomcat 4/5 configuration issue, might be any of many  
things. I don't recall the exact issue, but some time ago there was a  
great deal of confusion between different major and minor tomcat  
versions wrt. encodings and default encodings. Also consider the  
weird or nonsensical things that can happen when the HTTP encoding  
(or HTTP default encoding) does not match the XML encoding statet in  
the XML header, or the default XML encoding.

Try to progressively narrow the diffs between your setups down until  
you find the exact reason.
