Thanks for that. It seems like setting expando properties on DOM nodes is
not portable or safe. It's too bad, as it seems like this would be the
easiest way to associate a DOM node with some arbitrary JavaScript data.
This would be a really useful and appropriate technique when the data model
Hm, I'm just reading a bit more deeply here. It seems that all browser
implementations of SVG allow expando properties to be set on DOM nodes, and
it's only Batik that doesn't work. However, Cameron suggests a path to add
this functionality, and Thomas even points out that the Lobo browser already
