I have updated OutputOptions to provide more explanation of the various 
options.  Check out the latest CVS and run javadoc to see what I 
added.  Hopefully, this will suffice for documentation.

Oh, good.  That's one vote (other than mine) for keeping the defaults 
quirks free :-)

Hmm...  Not really sure.  There are a writeDOM() methods in XMLCContext 
that look like this...

public void writeDOM(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response,
                          OutputOptions outputOptions,
                          XMLObject document) throws IOException {


public void writeDOM(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response,
                          XMLObject document) throws IOException {

The latter method grabs the default output options, adds a couple options, 
and calls the former method.  So, I imagine that Enhydra does the same 
thing.  The javadoc information I added to OutputOptions should provide 
some insight as to what options Enhydra might want to add for 
out-of-the-box functionality for various document types.

Hopefully OutputOptions is now clear enough.

Always speak up.  You were heard (eventually) and now the result is an XMLC 
that should work much better for you and others.  Thanks for contributing :-)
