I'll be on vacation for the next week on an island with limited Internet access, so updates will be infrequent to nonexistent until I return in September.
Wolfgang Hoschek found some bugs in DOM conversion in XOM beta 2 so I've posted beta 3 to fix the problem. I've also done some more work to improve the connection between Java 1.5's built-in parser and XOM. None of the public APIs have changed in any way. All beta and alpha code should still run without a recompile.
