XOM API for Processing XML with Java

Elliote... why is 1.6 still even a real concern? Java 8's the oldest Java
version; after that, it's Java 10 for now. I'd think for new releases,
targeting Java 1.8's bytecode (and language compatibility) would be enough
- and supporting java 10 modules would be good as well. Targeting older
Java versions presumes maintenance on apps by a very very very very small
user group (those who are paying Oracle for JVM support) and while those
people are not value-less, I'd think for new releases targeting recent Java
versions would be preferable for all kinds of reasons.
