        - XML::ESISParser: include Robert Braddock's update for OpenSP,

	  XML::Parser, inspired by a request by Paul Mahoney

	  <ptm@xact.co.uk>

	- switch Data::Grove::Visitor to use UNIVERSAL::can instead of

	  $self->{'has'}, suggested by Mike Richardson

	  <mike@quaking.demon.co.uk>

	- no modules are yet supporting SAX2

	- XML::Parser::PerlSAX doesn't implement ErrorHandler, it

	  should at least call fatal_error() if XML::Parser dies;
