+<para>This is a minor update to the 1.71.0 release. Along with a
+number of bug fixes, it includes two feature changes:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Added support for profiling based on <tag
+ class="attribute">xml:lang</tag> and <tag

+ <para>Added initial support in manpages output for
+ <tag>footnote</tag>, <tag>annotation</tag>, and <tag>alt</tag>
+ instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same way
+ <tag>ulink</tag> instances are. They are treated as a class as
+ "note sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the
+ main text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed
+ in an endnotes section at the end of the man page.</para>

+ Saxon accepts either form

+ either form
+ (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#java-namespace-declare);
