[X3D-Ecosystem] SaxonJS 3

[Don Brutzman]

The X3D Examples, X3D-Edit implementation, X3D-Tidy, X3DUOM autogeneration,
and variety of other Web3D open-source tools are all tested using latest
Saxon HE (Home Edition) because

   - it is open source and thus widely repeatable,
   - It tracks XSLT and XPath improvements well,
   - We have not needed any of the advanced features offered by alternative
   commercial versions of Saxon,
   - it is stable and proven for all our many XSLT conversion applications.

All Java versions online at

   - Saxonica: Java downloads <https://www.saxonica.com/download/java.xml>
   - https://www.saxonica.com/download/java.xml

A few days ago I tested SaxonHE12-9J (Java) and it handled a complex build
task without hiccups.  I plan to gradually upgrade and test various current
implementations using SaxonHE12-8J over the coming weeks.

all the best, Don
