I've changed version numbers to 1.0 in CVS and tagged it as validator-1_0-
release.

Thanks, but please note that this fix is not a silver bullet: it just works 
around one (common, I hope) instance of the problem; XML::LibXML's slowness 
when it has lots of errors to report hasn't gone anywhere.  And I think the 
only things that could be done about that is get XML::LibXML fixed, disable 
XML wellformedness checks in the validator, or switch to another XML parser.
