Hi Ethan,
        Thank you for the clarifications here. One question, below:

-verify(), why do we need this? It seems to me when a user sets an xpath value we could do verification then, or at load of the new instance document. I am
not sure we need a separate verify. Shouldn't it just be automatic?

Because the separate set() calls are used to set individual elements,
the state after a set possibly won't validate.

Since the user is writing a script to generate the XML, I don't see why they can't provide us full chunks of XML at a time to the set() operation. I'm unaware of where one could provide a chunk of XML which would require a disjoint (or non-continuous) change elsewhere; but perhaps I'm not being creative this morning.

I do think the continuous validation would be very helpful for debugging when an invalid bit of XML gets inserted to prevent having to debug manually. I feel this way especially since we're providing this approach under the assumption that sys. admin.s' knowledge of XML is severely lacking.

                                                        Thank you,
                                                        Clay
