[ANNOUNCEMENT] Xerces-J 1.3.0 is now available

[ne...@ca.ibm.com]

Hello Xerces-J fans,

This is to announce the availability of Xerces 1.3.0.  The primary purpose
of this release is to bring Xerces-J as much into compliance with the W3C
Schema Candidate Recommendation (October 24, 2000) as it had been with the
W3C Schema Working Draft (April 7, 2000).  Other changes include:

     - Implemented schema union simple type definition;
     - Implemented many attribute and element declaration
     schema- validation constraints, as well as
     use=prohibited;
     - Implemented basic support for XML Schema identity constraints;
     - Fixed bug in Deferred DOM with multiple IDs on same element;
     - Updates to improve DFA build-time performance;
     - Optimization of memory used by attribute nodes in the DOM;
     - Fixed conflict between HTML DOM and Core DOM;
     - Optimized DOM normalize operation.

The program is available in both source and binary formats, and can be downloaded from

     <http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j>

All the best,

I would like to add the further limitation that it seems it only
works for grammars without a target namespace. I'll be doing more
work soon to add the following capability:

  1) handle namespaces correctly
  2) compare field values in the value space instead of
     the lexical space
