I know that we are past the freeze date for PHP_4_2_0 but I hope that you can find an 
exception for this case.  Recently the DOM XML interface has received a great deal of 
attention from the developers and for this reason has moved much closer to 
completeness.  After doing a fair amount of testing on it I have found it to be very 
stable and quite reliable.  The version that is going to "ship"
with 4.2.0 is more or less complete for the average user.  However, there is one major 
hole that I
just don't see how you can allow to slip past.  Up until about 3 days ago, the 
function remove_attribute() had not yet been implemented.  From what I can tell, it 
was simply overlooked and of all the functions that are still not implemented, it is 
by far the most important, since it blocks a very fundamental usage of the module, one 
surely everyone using it will need.  It is currently implemented but missed the 4_2_0 
branch.

On top of that argument, I just finished and submitted an entire PEAR interface to act 
as a frontend for the DOM XML/XPATH module and this one missing function is going to 
put off the usefullness of it for yet another release.  Please find it in your 
programming hearts to allow remove_attribute() to make it into 4_2_0.

Thanks,

Dan Allen
