Norm,
Briefly, what additional functionality do the sun resolver classes add
to the arbortext classes you released last April (and Zirka's Saxon
extension)?
Here're my guesses:
- support for OASIS XML Catalogs
- easier hooks for Xalan
- direct support for XP, independent of XT
What have I missed?
I plan to package the classes for debian, though it looks like they'll
have to go into the nonfree section.
BTW, sorry I missed the O'Reilly conference, family health issues required me to be
elsewhere. Maybe next year...
Thanks,
Mark
