I am currently working on porting the definition parser from SAX-based to DOM-based parsing. The current definition format has gotten so complicated that true random access is necessary. In fact, as I am working on this, I have thought of a number of valid cases where the old parser would just fail. It only continued to work because I always organized my files in a certain way!

In the spirit of a faster release cycle, I will finish the DOM port and implement object heirarchies then release 0.0.6. My goal is simply robustness of the Definition module validated through an extensive test suite. This should finally move Xmldoom into a realm where others can use it.
