8-bit text output version of XSV retired: new address for replacement

The original 8-bit-only, text output version of XSV has been retired,
as signalled last week.  The full UNICODE version, with text/xml
output, is now the main line public version, and it's at a new
address:

   http://www.w3.org/2000/06/webdata/xsv

Usage is up:  running at roughly 100 validations a day, with a high of 
nearly 200 last Friday.

Thanks to those who tick the 'Contribute' box -- I'm about to harvest
recent contributions and expand the regression test suite to reflect
the increase in breadth of usage.

The latest version has a number of bug fixes and improved compliance
in the area of enforcing content-model determinism.

Of the not-yet-implemented-by-XSV aspects of XML Schema (tabulation
below), I'd welcome feedback on what users are most keen to see being
covered first:

      <item>Simple type conformance, other than enumerations and max/min
            for numeric types</item>
     <item>Detailed enforcement of derivation by restriction</item>
     <item>Full XPath expressions for identity constraints</item>
     <item>Post-schema-validation infoset contributions</item>
