Peter, you're right ... it should specify xalan/1.2.D02 when you do
a "module rm".  It worked like this with version 3.0.8-rko when
the [module-info specified] was introduced by Robert Minsk.
However, [module-info name] got broken with the changes introduced
in version 3.0.9-rko.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to address
any serious code investigations until Oct'2000.  However, if someone
else can investigate further I'll include whatever code patches
into the 3.1.0alpha version.

Thanks

could add some tests to the testsuite to catch these kind of
differences.
