One can argue that both ways for days upon days, but it would be completely irrelevant since DOM 2 Core became a Rec almost five years ago and there's no way one could possibly revert the decisions that were made back then. Again, most people who use XML regularly make their own wrappers around the DOM to fit their style and take shortcuts that they would prefer. There's nothing keeping you from writing your own, and if you find like-minded people you could even release it for others to use. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
