Hi richard et al,

This has my vote

I think that we should also conconsider any API chnages that the community
need to enable the use of dom4j to be improved.


For example, A few thinks that I would like to see ...

For me I would like to see the DocumentFactory as accessable from a Node (or
at least the elements and attributes if the rest is an issue). It is there
is you know how to look for it but it is a side effect rather than by intent

I would like the DocumentFactory to be an interface

I would like Element to include Apis for getElement(int), getElementCount()
and a few others
Similarly I would like to see mechanisms to allow readonly and copy lists of
content to be available efficiently

I would like to use events when operations occur on a node (I have a product
that provides workflow based on retrofitting this facility into DOM4J)

Some of the above are simple and probably dont ruffle too many feathers, but
I am sure that some people will want to flame me (please resist).

I believe that we should use this oppertunity  to fill any holes that the
community see need to be filled to simplify use and extension

Mike
