Sorry for the repeated posts. I didn't know that they got queued awaiting confirmation of my email address :)
Yeah, I was wondering about the reposts. Well you are right that if you used the old DOMXML functions in PHP4 that there is no clean way to move that code forward without rewriting / supporting two infrastructures. I'm not a core developer but my guess is that they didn't mind dropping the support completely because in PHP4 it was all tagged as "experimental".
It's unfortunate for you, but I think making the change now makes sense because of the new DOM / SimpleXML support. These two are largely interchangeable because they're just different ways of looking at the same underlying object.
Perhaps another solution: create a class and call it DomDocument4_3_8 or something that mimics the method calls / properties of the new DomDocument class. Contact me off list if you need help with this.
