  Hi George, and all oXygen team,

  Very good!  The beta installs smoothly, and seems stable, as
usual.  The most interesting features are IMHO XProc support and
XSLT documentation (the first two new features in your list :-p.)
At first glance, the only feature I still miss is being able to
open several projects at the same time.  Just a few thoughts
about the beta, just in case:

  - it seems it is not possible to use the same documentation
    system in XProc than in XSLT, that would be great though (but
    embedded in p:documentation elements of course);

  - there is no support for the XSLT document type within the
    p:xslt step.  If oXygen completion is based on Relax NG, you
    can maybe use something like in this blog entry[1].  I think
    that's something that would make the XProc support very more
    convenient on a daily basis;

  - a few completion opportunities are not taken into account in
    XProc, for instance the port names on standard (or even user-
    defined) steps, as well as option names, or for step and port
    names on p:pipe;

  - maybe xmlns:c should be added on a new pipeline document,
    along with xmlns:p;

  - within XProc scenarii, there is nothing regarding input
    ports, and output ports are not taken from the selected
    pipeline (as opposed to the params in an XSLT scenario, that
    are listed from the selected stylesheet.)

  Anyway, those are just thoughts, and this is very nice to see
XProc support in oXygen already!  And there is even ${env(...)}
substitution :-)
