Sorry for not being clear; allow me to clarify. I was talking about the possible requirement to attach this functionality under an existing object hierarchy, for some reason. For example, if our target PL was JavaScript, we would want to attach this under the DOM implementation, since that is our connection with a document in a browser. We would have to go through the existing DOM API (by extending it), since it's the only acceptable pathway for both reading and mutating the document. So, supposing our library features a prefix of 'MM_', we would need something like the following in Mozilla. // standard way to create an element in Moz var oElem = document.createElement("p"); // should be extended to also accept var oElem = document.createElement(new MM_Element("<p>some text</p>")); // which is equal to var oElem = document.createElement("p"); var sNode = document.createTextNode("some text"); oElem.appendChild(sNode); Manos
