A short list of 'deviations', so people understand that this is not an
XML tool, but something else:

 * Namespaces are declared using prefix 'nasp'. 
 * Candle no longer supports user-defined entity.
 * [Some attribute values are] not quoted.
 * Text nodes are double quoted in Candle.
 * CDATA syntax is simplified to just <!! .... !!>.
