Okay, no problem. Will you fix it? Should be straight forward, since
we have a CXTM serializer. Just import every topic map from
<http://cxtm-tests.cvs.sourceforge.net/cxtm-tests/cxtm-tests/xtm1/in/>
and
<http://cxtm-tests.cvs.sourceforge.net/cxtm-tests/cxtm-tests/xtm2/in/>
and check if the output is identical to the output in the "baseline"
directory.

I have a TestCase impl. that does the work more or less automatically,
I'll contribute it this week to the CXTM subproject.

Hmm... . The CXTM package has nothing to do with MIO. And we need just
one "tinytim-mio" package, since you need only one concrete adapter to
"parse" every syntax you can think of. ;)

Proposal:
* Leave tinytim-cxtm as it is
* Leave the MapInputHandler in the tinytim-io package or put it into a
  new package "tinytim-mio".
* Replace TopicMapImporter with something that does not use MIO

Reasonable?

Best regards,
Lars
