  The main difference between 2.5.x and 2.6.x is the introduction of
dictionaries, and the main problem it raises is if you move subtrees
between documents without doing a copy. If you don't do any of this
it's unlikely 2.5 -> 2.6 changed much, maybe except better schemas and 
Relax-NG support and faster speed.
