I sure hope Lauren is reading this list cuz latest DOM spec is pretty hard to swallow. NodeIterator, for example, has been changed so that current position lies between two nodes. The concept is neat theoretically but very hard to implement efficiently in Java. Requiring NodeIterator to iterate over 'live' data is also making it very difficult to implement. In the face of these problems, mixing iteration with indexing is not too strange. The latest DOM spec also retrieves attributes via NodeIterator which makes it a requirement that Attribute implementations also implement Node interface. Overall feeling I get about the latest DOM spec is not too good despite little improvements like attribute values being strings now.
