We'll think about it; the downside would be that 1) RTTI makes the DLL bigger, and 2) having it enabled only on some platforms could lead to coding errors.
BTW, I have noticed that for (XMLSize_t i = 0; i < len; ++i) { XS::DOMNode* curNode = myNodes->item(i); XS::DOMElement* curElement = reinterpret_cast<XS::DOMElement*>(curNode); XS::DOMNodeList *anotherNodeList = elem.getElementsByTagName(wsAgent.c_str());
works pretty well indeed even if curNode does not contain child nodes (XS stands for the Xerces long namespace name). Does Xerces ever return pure DOMNode* pointers?
I don't get the issue: what do you mean by "works pretty well indeed"? I cannot even guess what this code should do, as you are invoking getElementsByTagName on the "elem" variable but you just initialized "curElement".
As for the "pure DOMNode* pointers", I guess you are asking if a DOMNode object can ever exist; in this case, the answer is no, as it is a pure virtual interface.
