Please make a note about the DOS (and I assume Unix) filenames no longer
working... input must be a valid URL.  This will effect the next release of
Xalan.

ps.
- For those of you using PGP signature (sig files) you can find my key
by searching for jeffreyr@us.ibm.com. Key was created 06/05/2000.
It's key size is 4096/1024.

- If you are building source distribution in Linux ( or other Unix
systems) you may get an exception in the stylebook jar while
building the documentation. This is a know bug and it will be fixed in the
next release 1.1.3. The work around is to re execute make so your build
will
finish.
