IXMLDOMNode represents the interface for a DOM node.  FWIW, the naming
convention of putting an 'I' in front of interfaces is not exclusive to
Microsoft or even C++.  In fact, my read of the Mozilla DOM shows that
they use a very similar naming convention: nsIDOMNode.
http://cgi.din.or.jp/~hagi3/JavaScript/JSTips/Mozilla/idl.cgi?idl=M091&s
mp=y#nsIDOMNode.  Xerces dodges the naming issue by naming the interface
"Node" and then the implementation "NodeImpl" :-)
