XOM API for Processing XML with Java

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

I've posted Beta 3 of XOM 1.1 in the usual location:

http://www.xom.nu/unstable.html

Please give it a whirl and let me know what you think. Barring 
undiscovered bugs or really major problems in the API, this is pretty 
much what will be the official release. Further optimizations and 
features will have to wait for 1.1.1 and/or 1.2. There's still plenty of 
stuff on the TODO list, but I think this version is a major improvement 
over 1.0 and I don't want to hold it back any longer than I have to.

Major and minor changes since the last release include:

Xalan 27 and Xerces 2.7.1 are now bundled. Furthermore there've been a 
few internal changes to work better with these engines.

Various optimizations suggested by Wolfgang Hoschek. This beta should be 
noticeably faster than beta 2 for many common operations. Overall, 1.1 
should be twice as fast as 1.0, if not faster.

CDATASection.toXML() now outputs its value wrapped in a CDATA section 
rather than escaped.

I added SUIDs to the Serializable classes. (That's mostly exceptions. 
Otherwise, XOM classes don't implement Serializable.)
