eml-2.0.0beta9 release

[Matt Jones]

Hi Scott,

Well, not a comprehensive one on our end. The schemas are the key -- if 
they validate against the schemas, then you've got a compliant document. 
But we've been working a bit on some test data to explore the 
ramifications of the changes for analytical processing.  You'll find 
attached a farsical beta9 example, which neither makes much sense nor 
has it been validated against the schemas -- I guarantee there are 
problems with validity as it is a work in progress.  And a sideline at 
the moment at that.  But, you might find it somehow useful, so here it 
is. Use at your own risk :)

We will of course be generating more compliant documents in the future, 
but we're not there yet.

Matt
