Aelfred2 takes about 70k which can deal with namespaces etc...

The big problem seems to be that we ship the CML 2.0 XML Schema with the 
applet... :) That takes over 200k... Removing the DTD's too, will lower it 
another 30k... and another two CML DTDs provided by Jmol itself ;)

No, I don't think we need to drop CML support at all, but just be a bit more 
critical in what we want to take along :)
