XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

Sorry, on a second look XOM seems to agree with Saxon and Xerces wrt.  
Text. My mistake.

The question then becomes: Is it legal to have the zero character  
*anywhere* in a string used in a XOM document? That, is, perhaps  
inside element names, attribute names, attribute values, CDATA,  
comments, pis, namespace prefix or URI, DTD subset, etc?
I'm hoping the answer may be that it's not legal anywhere in XML...
