Quick Saxon.NET update and a comment from Eve Maler

Wanted to quickly do a community wide update as to the status of the Saxon.NET build for version 8.2. The problem I am currently working on that has held things up is the integration of XOM support into Saxon 8.2 and subsequent inclusion of this functionality into the Saxon.NET functionality.

Unfortunately I haven't had a good chunk of time to focus on this issue with the necessary attention it needs. I am just getting ready to spend the next 4-6 hours uploading a clients project onto the main production server but if there is anything left of my day after then this is where I plan to put all of my focus. More updates as they become available.

Also, as it turns out there may be more meanings to the term "Pushing String" as Eve recently pointed out in a comment. As such I would keep my eye over on her new blog for this updated explanation as well as dial in her XML feed into your reader of choice as I have a feelings LOTS AND LOTS of good XML things and beyond will be coming from her direction.

NOTE: For those of you who somehow slept the last 10 years of your life away and have missed out on this whole XML thing going on Eve Maler was one of the original developers of the XML specification. Suffice it to say she knows her sh--! :D

UPDATE: If you are reading this and you are not already aware of Eve's follow-up post then how come you haven't added her feed to your reader yet!
