Re: Sun Resolver classes released


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
