I had a bit of a problem interpreting the spec on this one. Saxon does not
have a vendor, it is given away for free. There is no system-property
defined to return the product name, and I thought it would be useful to
include that, but including only the product name would not conform with the
spec. So it is documented to return "SAXON [version] from Michael Kay of
ICL". (This rather convoluted form of words reflects the status that ICL's
involvment is as sponsor rather than supplier). To check whether you are
using Saxon, either use the vendor-url property, or test that vendor
starts-with "SAXON".
