 The MXML version number appearing in the global attributes of a NeXus file
 is
 set manually to 2.0 even
 though, in the example below, the actual version number was 2.2.2.

 $ NXbrowse NXtest.xml
 NXBrowse 3.0.0 Copyright (C) 2000 R. Osborn, M. Koennecke, P. Klosowski
     NeXus_version = 3.0.0
     XML_version = mxml-2.0
     file_name = NXtest.xml
     file_time = 2005-05-25 12:12:10-0500

 Mark, I believe that this is really a problem with the MXML library.  Can
 you
 persuade the author to put
 in the version number into the MXML header file so that it can be
 correctly
 determined by the NAPI?
 Otherwise, I think we should just state that the XML_version is 'mxml'
 without
 any version number at
 all.

 ------- Comment #1 From Mark Koennecke 2005-05-27 09:09 [reply] -------
 I modified the string to mxml as proposed in order to fix this quickly. I
 will
 propose a mxmlGetVersion function to the author of mxml which will take
 longer as
 this is not a critical bug.
