Subject: [ruby-talk:26427] [ANN] NQXML v1.1.3; Maki number up to 90.9% conformity

NQXML version 1.1.3 has increased its conformity from 87.7% to 90.9% by
improving the implementation of the ENTITY tag. I hereby propose we call
this percentage an XML parser's "Maki number".

Changes in version 1.1.3:

    * New ExternalID, SystemExternalID, and PublicExternalID classes.

    * Doctype and EntityTag objects now holds an ExternalID object instead
      of a string.

    * Element, Attlist, and Notation classes are no longer subclasses of
      EntityTag due to the changes mentioned previously. Instead, they are
      subclasses of NamedEntity. The remaining args for these three are
      stored in a new string attribute named argString until they are
      implemented correctly.

    * New test script oasis.rb runs NQXML over the OASIS test XML files. It
      reports conformance and, with the -v flag, outputs error traces for
      each error. (OASIS XML files not included.)
