RE: [dom4j-dev] inner and outer XML - was Why do add(...) methods return void?

[Mike Skells \(ebizz-consulting\)]

It would be nice to have mechanisms to set the innerXML and outerXML, in a
similar mechanism to the innerHTML and outer HTML properties in the HTML
DOM.

The mechanism should by default use the same DocumentFactory as one that the
node was created with
It should also be able to cope with setting any node type. (This would be
very useful for the edit panels in visdom)

Ideally (as a default option?) it should have the ability to modify the
current node rather to replace it, and potentially (not default) merge the
values into the existing document. We should ensure that

Node node = document.getRootElement();
node.setOuterXML("fred");

//document.getRootElement() == node

Thoughts?
