ENHANCEMENT:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o  Modified error handling during input. Old behavior would stop
   on first ModelParseException. This meant that user input for
   subsequent fields was lost. Now input processing attempts to
   process all input fields and keeps track of ALL exceptions.
   At the end of input processing, it throws a special exception
   called a MultiModelParseException.
   
   The MultiModelParseException contains a List of all the
   exceptions that occured. The methods getMessage, getLocalizedMessage,
   and getUserFriendlyMessage return a concatenated String of all
   the error messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENT:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o Changed attribute renderer to remove attribute when value is blank.

---------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENT:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o ElementDelegate.setAttributeText/Value(name,"xxx"), will
  create the attribute if it does not exist.
o ElementDelegate.setTextNodeText/Value will create TextNode
  if it does not exist.

---------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENT:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o HTMLComponentFactory.createComponents now creates and binds a
  TextNode with the syntax:
  
  valueHolder__propertyName 
  or 
  __propertyName
  
o HTMLComponentFactory.createComponents now supports new syntax. 
  Examples:
  
  valueHolder__propertyName
  valueHolder__propertyName__1
  valueHolder__propertyName__DATE:MM/dd/yyyy
  valueHolder__propertyName__DATE:MM/dd/yyyy__1
  __propertyName
  __propertyName__1
  __propertyName__DATE:MM/dd/yyyy
  __propertyName__DATE:MM/dd/yyyy__1
  valueHolder__
  valueHolder__1
  valueHolder__TEMPLATE_NODE
  valueHolder__TEMPLATE_NODE__1

o	HTMLComponentFactory.createComponents now has new method which will
  set any properties not already set by code of existing components.

---------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENT:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o Modified method ServletForm.testFullCycle to write file to disk
  as well as display System.out. This provides a means of visually
  inspecting a form while testing and developing. You can run the
  testFullCycle method and open/refresh the file with your
  browser to review the results.

---------------------------------------------------------------
BUGFIX/CHANGE:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o Fixed Multipart Request. Was not handling files without an 
  extension properly. Most browsers send files with extensions
  as binary.
o Also modified behavior to allow fetching a parameter value as
  either a String or byte[].
o Also deprecated use of _ByteArray suffix, but added code to
  provide backwards compatibility.

---------------------------------------------------------------
BUGFIX/CHANGE:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o Bug in ElementDelegate.setValueHolder method. Does not bind to
  bound TextNode.

---------------------------------------------------------------
BUGFIX/CHANGE:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o Fixed HTMLComponentFactory.createComponents. It was not picking up
  format/format pattern from span tag text node. Worked OK with
  attribute in input field.

---------------------------------------------------------------
BUGFIX Build/Website only:
---------------------------------------------------------------
o Replaced xslt style sheet used to format JUnit output.
