                                                support, but also, the extensions to that API,
                                                include Adapters and ReadOnly APIs.

                                                we don't claim to support full compliance with
                                                1.5 (or with DOM Core 3 APIs), this is an area
                                                than may cause -verify errors even if 1.5 runs a
                                                1.4 library.

                                                The Eclipse Java Formatter has approximately 129
                                                formatting options. I'm not sure we can beat
                                                that record, but we should at least investigate
                                                the possiblity. :)
