For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to

This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the

New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.

The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and

Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was

represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me. It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project. Whether

From reading the source, it turns out that the setkey() method can
...
take an optional string key, but if key is not given, the method does
nothing! In the rewrite (see upcoming check-in), I left things this
way, but here I document that this is the case.
