  It's a bit more subtle than that, all the new schemas code isn't yet
part of the supported API proper. But I think we can start relaxing the
constraints w.r.t. adding API (but existing API and ABI must be preserved)
for example I will probably switch some of the DTD validation code with 
the new regexp/automata code.
