Fully agreed. If it helps anyone, they are welcome to download my code from xml-cml.org. The simple subclassed nodes are in jumbo.xml.data.*Node and are things like FloatNode, EnumerationNode, etc. More fun things are jumbo.xml.graphics.*Node with some simple graphics primitives. [I think this isn't the latest version mounted]. Then there are jumbo.cmlxml.MoleculeNode, etc. Most inherit methods, often overridden, from jumbo.xml.data.DataTypeNode. The public methods at least give some idea of my mental struggles and they may be helpful... P.
