If you need any help ask me :-)

- use setters/getters. $domtext->data = "hello" should be possible with PHP5 (the properties in domxml at the moment are a joke and shouldn't be used..), this will allow much more dom-compliance

Maybe we could have an own dowmxml object type with special handlers.

- Implement first most of the dom-standard. Then we add some of the convenience methods libxml2 has (get_content() et al. They are not in the dom-standard, but make the life for domxml-programmers a lot easier and they are also much faster than using the "traditional" dom methods) - Lastly, if there's time, add as much BC as possible. Or we just provide a PEAR-wrapper, which makes transition from domxml/PHP4.3 to domxml/PHP5 easier.

I disagree, domxml is experimental, so do not make the mistake to have an incompatible version shipped with php5. Why must php always be different? marcus
