Rajiv forwarded Stefano's E-Mail sent to Jakarta explaining the reasons of
this. We use the naming described there since a couple of years in the Java
Apache project, the Jakarta project agreed on it, and the XML one "assumed"
it silently. I wouldn't like to rediscuss this thing once again, but if the
XML folks feel this as a strong limitation, the voice cannot pass unheard...

Perfectly agreed... My intention, when I said why don't we move that package
in another place, is that I would like to see a DOM implementation not tied
to the parser or to whatever other component.
Now, I don't have the technical knowledge to say if the one that is in
org.apache.xerces.dom is generic enough, that's you to tell, but IMHO a
generic and unique DOM implementation is nedeed.
