XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Alex Ivanov <alexivanov AT cra.com>]

I am posting to this list because I'm using XOM 1.1b2 for parsing and it
wasn't clear where the problem was.
I solved it anyway. Thanks.

There are several versions of AElfred around, the code has forked at least
once. You need to be clear which you are using. (And probably, find a list
that's more appropriate than this one...)
