  Well the strings from the schemas itself should use the schemas own
dictionnary. If adding a new attribute to the DOM tree, since the 
attribute comes from a predefined set, yes I think the values should be
allocated from the document dictionnary (assuming it exists), both for
the attribute name and for the text node value children of the attribute
node. The risk of explosing the dictionnary size due to random text does
not exist in this case and this should be safe, yes. One probably just
need to make sure that the text node deallocation in that case will check
for the dictionnary string (both in normal DOM and in the reader).
