I vote for IDOM.
I like:
- the speed
- the virtual interface that will allow plugging any custom DOM implementation.
But I fear that the fact that Xerces doesn't call the destructor for the 
single nodes (but only releases the memory underneath it) can pose a big 
limitation to the exploitation of the second advantage (because it will 
force the developer to include data members allocated only through the 
IDOM_Document::allocate function).
