Nicolas,
If deal.II handles hanging nodes in the same way as other codes that's fine for me.
Yes, there is really only one canonical way for dealing with hanging nodes that everyone uses (including deal.II).
I will recommend my colleague to study your lecture 16. I think it explains how to deal with this kind of mesh. I think they have trouble with the discontinuity of the shape functions (or other finite element functions) but you explain in your lecture how to add constraints to ensure continuity. I guess the need for refined meshes lead you to make this second version of deal.
Actually, the original DEAL library did that as well. It was more a question of software design that prompted us to rewrite it all.
PS: Thanks for your MATH 676 lectures, they are so helpful for my PhD.
Thank you for the kind words!
