I think we have sorted all these out now.

I would assume that is because returning null is correct in some cases and it just has not been overridden in derived classes to throw unsupported. I agree its confusing. > 3) The memory model isn't well documented. What does release()? Is it > basically a delete this, or do i have to delete a relased() pointer as well? The application calls release when it knows that it does not want that node any more. You can not call release when the node is still part of the tree. The memory is then recycled. You therefore have to be very careful when calling release as any other pointers to that node will could just be pointing to a different node completely (you can get some really fun behaviour this way:)). > 4) I don't get NODE_DELETED calls when a whole document is released (or > a DOMBuilder).

We should definitely think about this. There has been some talk about importing Pathan into xerces-c. We are currently implementing XPath2 using the new bindings and I agree with your comments.
