We currently have both SimpleXML (for simple things) and DOM to do the more

underlying DOM tree which they are working on. You'd have to clearly
articulate the benefits of your suggestion to this couple.
From your email it's not clear what your exact idea is and how it would add
value to these.
I don't want to take sides here but I also think standard DOM interface is a bit
cumbersome. I see some places where such class would make things easier. For example:
$body = $doc->createElement('body');
$content = $doc->createCDATASection($text);
$body->appendChild($content);
$item->appendChild($body);
Which could be encapsulated in a slick method like:
public function createTextNode($element, $text, $cdata = false)
{
$node = $this->_doc->createElement($element);
if ($cdata) {
$content = $this->_doc->createCDATASection($text);
$node->appendChild($conent);
} else {
$node->nodeValue = $text;
}
return $node;
}
It's easier to call $doc->createTextNode('body', 'Text of body') than to write four
lines of code.
