yes. And the comment nodes at the same time.

I'm thinking of doing a base Node class, from which will herit ElementNode, 
CommentNode, TextNode, and the 4 other possible node types.

For the get_content and set_content accessors, I have 2 alternatives :
	- put them in the Node base class, and implement it differently in TextNode / 
CommentNode (here the meaning is obvious) and in ElementNode (here they would 
set/get the content of a child TextNode, and eventually create one if it 
doesn't exists). It is the behavior of libxml (see xmlNodeSetContent 
implementation in tree.c).
	- put them only in TextNode and CommentNode.

The first one give the possibility to manipulate Nodes with content without 
having to know about the TextNodes in a basic utilisation.
The second one avoid the possible mistakes because of mixing the different 
accessor behavior...

A third one would be to do the second one, plus adding another accessor on 
ElementNode with a different name. But which one ?

I think I prefer the first solution, with a good documentation. For now...
I'm going to have a closer look to Xerces before making a decision.

Any comment/advise is welcome !

? well in the current CVS version, the dom_parser example shows me some 
contents. What did you mean exactly ?
