yes, absolutely. I had this code there because the set of node wrapper types
wasn't/isn't complete yet, i.e. 'processing instructions' and others aren't
covered. As I used that 'in house' I meant to track these messages and add
the missing types. Of course in a production environment there shouldn't be
any missing wrappers at all, or at least the system should bail out with
a meaningful message. I'd suggest assert(), as the situation really hints
at a bug in libxml++, not an (runtime) exceptional situation that could /
should be treated by application code.
