This sounds more then a bit weird to me; the suggestion moves quite a bit=20
away from the DOM design in requiring the caller to have more knowledge=20
about implementation of the dom-library.

=46rom your reply I gather that you intend to develop this API and testing=
=20
it in, for example, kspread.

I don't think that is a good idea as it will take too much time and the=20
loading can not test all corner cases of the API.  I suggest you write=20
some unit tests that comes with an XML file to test all ideas and corner=20
cases in it.
Expanding the tests and xml file(s) as your implementation grows more=20
mature.
This requires you write the thing using multiple classes and not one huge=20
class so your tests actually can 'look inside' the implementation.

It really is the only way to get this to be a stable library any time=20
soon :)
