Proposal: DOM package

Hi there, Didn't get off to a very auspicious start with my last post, but I've updated stuff and packaged it properly, so I'll try again... Summary: DOM aims to be a set of classes providing an abstraction layer for the various versions of PHP4's domxml extension and PHP5's dom extension. The main goal in writing this was to avoid recoding all xml stuff when PHP5 becomes available. A side effect is that it makes domxml much more DOM-compliant (which can't be a bad thing ;) Each of the DOM 'interfaces' is represented as a class - which means that the package will also bring some previously unavailable functionality, such as NamedNodeMaps and DocumentFragments, to domxml. There's also a test suite which currently runs nearly 200 tests over the classes, checking return values for conformance to the DOM level specified. The test suite now also has a 'raw php5 mode', which enables you to run the same tests over the php5 beta's dom extension instead of using the DOM_* abstraction classes. It's big, ugly and still needs work. I wouldn't stand by the results in a court of law, but the core stuff is there. The idea was to help in writing the php5 abstraction classes, but it occurred to me this might also be useful for the extn developers.
