i fixed that one in the meantime, <tag></tag> doesn't become <tag /> any more.
it was rather trivial, i just add an empty value (""). so i guess only the
mixed text/tags issue is left.

yes, i do -- at least i think i do ;-) it just doesn't really work yet, but i
didn't look into that in detail. it probably is only an issue of how this
pseudo node is designed, i might have done that too sloppy (cause it was of no
practical relevance to me yet).

the problem is to decide what is a true child and what only a fragment. it's
probably the easiest, most transparent solution to make everything a child
node. there are different types already, like empty tags, dtd or xml
declarations. in theory this should work.

at least it wouldn't break the parsing any more. if i can't get the above idea
to work i'll maybe think of this as a temporary workaround. in the end, of
course, a document should be functionally equal to the original after it was
parsed and pasted back again.

hm, ok ;-) when i'm convinced it really just works, i'll put it up on CRAN.
