Agreed. That was a *TON* of work on Dr. Kay's part. This was an area
that, through the help, advice, and testing of friends (credit:
FXSL/Dimitre Novatchev in whom without, it would have never been known
where the problems with the original Saxon.NET project were, and how best
to fix them such that they could probably pass the FXSL tests), I came to
discover was doable, but required a lot of time, effort, and re-testing to
get right. "Close" was as far as I ever got, which goes to show how much
extra effort was put forth by Dr. Kay to deliver this wonderful feature to
the rest of us.
