That is one way of doing things I suppose, but I don't like this at all as it is confusing to deal with. It still seems silly to have to refer to the root node when only one element of a particular type can be the document element. Referring to the document element like any other node makes working with the DOM a bit of a kludge since you have to essentially create a dummy node that lives on top of the document element.
