My point was that, while lacking a lot of features, libxml++ before my
initial patch was consistent in the way it worked. My patch changed the 
perspective of what an xmlpp::Node actually is (for example), and this
patch alone got libxml++ into an inconsistent state, which I attempted 
to fix in subsequent commits (for example SaxParser not using 
AttributeMap any more, making Attribute derive from Node, etc.)

In this light, I do think that any release should either not include any
changes from me, or more than the first patch (as I suggested we should
go through each change and discuss its relation with the overal goal
to stabilize the API).

all we need to do is branch from the version just before the patch, and 
declare that branch to be the 'stable 1.0' branch. No need to reapply
anything.
