If you have a new (ie >= 0.3.7) ScrollKeeper, it will try to validate each
OMF file it encounters.  If it doesn't validate, then it ignores it.  So,
only updated OMF files (ie. where the subject, rights, and version
elements have attributes but not children) will be registered with
ScrollKeeper.

If you have an older (ie <= 0.3.6) ScrollKeeper, the new OMF files will 
only partially be registered (ie. they won't appear in the contents list).

Urg.  I just realized I forgot to make an update needed for 0.3.7, so it 
doesn't list docs with the new OMF files in the contents list either :(  I 
guess we'll need a 0.3.8 right away.
