      <h1>External Object Models</h1>
      <p>Note that the support modules for JDOM, XOM, and DOM4J are not packaged with Saxon-HE, but they can be built from source
code if required.</p>
      <p>Saxon's JDOM interface now supports use of the <code>id()</code> and <code>idref()</code> functions.</p>
      <p>The DOM interface now supports the <code>unparsed-entity-uri()</code> and <code>unparsed-entity-system-id()</code>
functions.</p>
      <p>The DOM interface now filters out zero-length text nodes. (It also treats nodes whose nodeValue is null as if
it were a zero-length string: this was a bug fix also applied to the 9.1 branch.)</p>
      <p>The XOM interface (<code>XOMObjectModel</code>) and the JDOM interface (<code>JDOMObjectModel</code>) both
now implement the new <code>TreeModel</code> interface,
which means they can be set as the desired tree model for example in a s9api <code>DocumentBuilder</code>
or <code>XdmDestination</code>. In fact, they can even be set as the selected tree model in a <code>Controller</code>,
in which case the selected model will be used for temporary trees constructed within a query or transformation.</p>
