  * Support for both XPath 1 and XPath 2 models in the DOM XPath interface
  * Support for the XML Schema subset of XPath 1 in DOM
  * Conformance to the final DOM Level 3 interface specification
  * Ability to provide custom DOM memory manager as well as tune the global 
    DOM heap parameters
  * All public and widely used interfaces as well as a large portion of the 
    implementation were converted to be 64-bit safe.
  * Various XML Schema fixes including the fix for the large maxOccurs and 
    minOccurs bug as well as for the changed ##other interpretation
  * Reviewed and cleaned up diagnostics messages

    validation
