Hi Philippe,

Yes, it fixes most of the bugs.  One bug that was not fixed is below:

  The description ( javadoc comments ) of the
org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeValue() 
says 
that values returned by the method is described in some table :
  
  "public String getNodeValue() throws DOMException
  
     The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above"
  
  But there is no such table either in the method's description or in
the 
description of the interface org.w3c.dom.Node.


See attached patch for a sample fix.  Thanks,

-Edwin
