Sadly Java seems to have got itself into the hole that interfaces cannot
evolve - or at least if they do, it causes serious disruption. I've had to
do major reengineering of Saxon to keep it working across JDK 1.4/1.5
because of changes to the DOM interfaces. (Though if this hastens the death
of the bloated monster called DOM, I won't be sorry.)
