Any of these commits useful?

I've based my changes on the he-test branch.

Given Michael Kay's comments in the news item, "Saxon is not available via Maven": (http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=29872), I think it best that users install saxon themselves into a local repo rather than download from clojars. This also makes it possible for those with a license to have clojure-saxon use the PE or EE edition.

I don't want to tread on your toes, so if these changes are not the way you want clojure-saxon to go, I'll keep the changes in my repo, but rename it to avoid confusion.

Thanks for a great little library.

Thanks for these.

I've left the library linger too long after Saxon's change to the new distribution packaging (Home Edition &c). The reason I didn't follow, at the time of the change, was that I was relying on features of the last non-Home Edition release (specifically, saxon:eval() in stylesheets) & there weren't compelling new features to drag me along. But this isn't a tenable long-term strategy.

Let me chew on the best way to handle depending on Saxon.

No worries. I understand the problem. I have a friend still using Saxon 8.x for much the same reasons.

At some point it seems the "not through maven" policy changed:

http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|a%3A%22Saxon-HE%22

Any possibility that this library will be updated to depend on more recent versions of Saxon(-HE)?

Note there's a critical bug in the latest version published on maven, supposed to be fixed in the next release:
