Hi all,

         I was just trying to hunt down where XalanNode::getNodeValue()
gets defined to be something real, and would you believe I am having
trouble finding it?  It seems to be 'virtual' everywhere it is defined. The
documentation will take you to XalanElement and from there to various types
of elements ( ie, ElemTemplateElement, XalanSourceTreeElement...) but in
every one of THOSE we are still in virtual territory. My question is: who
does this for real?  I almost thought maybe this goes back to Xerces who
does it for real, but none of these functions seem to be derived from
anything in Xerces.

Thanks,
Suzanne
