 Me too :-(

 I thought that having something castable to xmlDocPtr would be 
sufficient. It would be really great because il will allow to
build a seamless xml Db with minimal effort (ie no rewrite of an
XPath engine, and later of an XSLT engine).

 Is this a no-no or is there still a possibility to enhance libxml
this way (libxml3 perharps ?).

 I find it sad to be locked in the java platform when we come to
modularity and plugability.

 Have a nice day
