>unmuddled, my point is >1) a document is not flat a XML document is not only flat but its a thin line, a character wide. DOM is a projection of that thin line into a two dimensional structure, specifically a tree. >2) iterators are trail through a specific projection of a document >at a specific time by an individual. an iterator over a structure is like cockroach roaming about a house while an iterator over a result is like a dungbeetle crawling around a manure truck. a house is made for living while a truck is not. >So the iteration over sets could >be separated from projecting a document in time. i agree that the cockroach and the dungbeetle are two different animal. >Does this help, or do I stop now? Please continue. Its just starting to get fun. Don Park
