Exact roots of transcedental functionsThe notebook at
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Conferences/7010/
Talks about how the first argument of Root[_,_] can be a pure 
transcendental function, not just a polynomial.
It sounds like this is a new feature in Mathematica 6, but I can't find 
any mention of such a feature in the documentation.
Is this capability in Mathematica 6, or in some version to come out in 
the future? I can't see for myself because I don't have Mathematica 6.

Thanks,
