I ran into what might be a bug when debugging my application.

Given the document
<root>
   <X>X</X>
</root>

The memory address of the 'X' element's content is the same as the 
memory address of the 'X' element's name field of its xmlNode. This 
seems to happen when the content of an element is the same as the name 
of the element and both are 3 characters or less.


  yes, it's normal, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
