'xmlNodePtr' is a typedef, so the prototype now say "the pointer
'node' is non modifiable; the data pointed by 'node' are modifiable".
If i'm not wrong, obviously.
If 'xmlNodePtr' were a macro (thanks Rush), the things would be
different.
I don't speek a good english, so it is very difficult
for me to express what i mean. Sorry for this.
My doubt is: what is the intent? What should be costant?
The pointer 'node'?
The data pointed by 'node'?
Both?
I suppose the data pointed by 'node' or both, non only the
pointer.
