XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Manfred Nysted Berry" <Manfred.Berry AT fast.no>]

That's where we are right now :-(

Anyway, it would be very helpful if the included jaxen version would be
made visible.
Right now it's really hard to see which jaxen version is included in XOM

This does look like a potential source of integration nightmares, for
example if someone has an application that uses XOM for one of its input
files and also uses some other product that uses Jaxen. If XOM is to
ship a
subset of Jaxen, it would be better to change the package names.
