Here are some features I have added to my DOM implementation to make it more useful. Some of them reiterate items on most peoples' wish lists... 1) Document creation. No surprise here, although I also support instantiating a document from XML source, as well as streaming a document out to XML source (C++ I/O streams). 2) ExceptionCode MEMORY_ERR = -1. Very useful to catch allocation failures. 3) Direct child element searching by tag name or attribute value. 4) Convenience functions for adding a Text child to an element, or retrieving the text content of an element. 5) Validation function for DOMString to ensure it is a valid "name" value.
