Xerces-C acceleration/improvement project: icXML

[Rob Cameron <robc@international-characters.com>]

John Cowan mentioned his continuing need to assess schema
for compatibilty with Xerces-C "bugs and all."

Over the past year and a half, we have been actively developing
icXML as an accelerated version of Xerces-C, based on parallel
bit stream technology developed out of my lab at Simon Fraser
University.    icXML 0.9 is available from our public SVN.

svn co http://parabix.costar.sfu.ca/svn/icXML/icXML-0.9
Trac browser: http://parabix.costar.sfu.ca/browser/icXML

We will be presenting our work with icXML at Balisage 2013 in
Montreal, August 6-9.

Although our focus is on performance acceleration, we are also
interested to know of issues with respect to Xerces-C functionality
that we may address.
