I see on dom directory in the examples.

It's because Attribute is now a Node and that SaxParser shouldn't know what is 
a Node nor an attribute. We had discussed this with Stefan a few days ago.
If Attribute herit from Node in the stable branch, then we should probably add 
this too.

We can decide what to do about it when we finish discussing this point, unless 
we report any decision about iterators in API.

This should depends on child_iterators

but this not.
I do agree to add it to 1.0.

This example uses xpath stuffs and iterators.
We can put it in 1.0 after removing iterators illustration.
