XOM API for Processing XML with Java

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

There've been a few small improvements to and bug fixes to XOM in the 
months since 1.1 was released. However development has really slowed for 
a multitude of reasons especially:

1. My need to spend more time on potentially revenue generating activity
2. XOM has now reached the point where it pretty effectively satisfies 
all my needs
3. Some of the remaining things on the todo list are actually quite 
difficult. They're still on my radar, but not necessarily for immediate 
action.

What I'd like to do is post a beta of 1.2 in the near future, and then 
release 1.2 soon after. I think the only API level change will be the 
addition of factories in DOMConverter. Otherwise this release will just 
roll up a few optimizations, small bug fixes, and third party library 
upgrades. However this won't be nearly as major an upgrade as 1.0-->1.1.

Following 1.2, I can release 1.2.1, 1.2.2, etc. to stomp bugs as they 
appear. As time permits I can also make some additional optimizations in 
the point releases as time permits.

How's that sound? Any objections? If anyone has noticed any more bugs 
let me know now. If there are any *easy* optimizations I can make, I can 
look at them too.
