 	* Documenttion/gsdoc/GSXMLParser.gsdoc: document ([-parser:])
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSSAXHandler.gsdoc: update for removal of
 	redundant 'length' info on some callbacks.
+	* Source/externs.m: Initialise strings using NSGCString because the

+	is done - so NSString won't have cached its cocrete and abstract
