How about: because some implementations might be able to provide an O(1) implementation, whereas an external routine would be likely to be O(number of siblings) or thereabouts. There're several other queries like this which could usefully be added and which might allow for similar optimizations: precedes in document order; is an ancestor of; least common ancestor; depth from root etc. Cheers, Miles -- Miles Sabin Cromwell Media Internet Systems Architect 5/6 Glenthorne Mews +44 (0)20 8817 4030 London, W6 0LJ, England msabin@cromwellmedia.com http://www.cromwellmedia.com/
