Hi Simon, The reason org.apache.xerces.dom.CharacterDataImpl doesn't implement CharacterData is because one of its derived classes, org.apache.xerces.dom.ProcessingInstructionImpl, doesn't implement this interface. The ProcessingInstruction interface only extends Node.
The other two subclasses for comment nodes and text nodes implement CharacterData as they should.
