So what about a major change in the version number to reflect this major
changes in the development? 

I'm already using the 1.5-version for most of everyday work, as there
are a number of useful features in it and (as Dave implied) it proved to
be stable enough to work with. The question is, how do you name the
corresponding source directories for 1.5-pre-xml and 1.5-with-xml? These
names are pretty long. What do people think about 1.5.1 for the
xml-version? Or 1.5.5, 1.5.9, or even * 1.7 *?
