How is it that the Java version makes it so easy?  This lack of 
DOM-to-string functionality, combined with lack of any means to transmit 
the XML to a server, led me to abandon Xerces C altogether and rewrite 
everything in Java.  What a great decision: Three weeks after knowing not a 
scrap of Java, I have a functioning architecture that builds a DOM, gets it 
as XML, sends it to a server, and receives replies.

With all respect to the DOM folks, the failure to provide any means of 
actually getting XML out of the DOM is a major one.  XML is all about text, 
so where's the text handling?  I certainly hope that finally, in version 3 
of the DOM, we get something useful.

I just wonder why, after all the questions about this, no one has written a 
lean and clean DOM-to-string function.  I wish I had time to do it.  But 
someone took the time to write DOMPrint and all those other examples; I 
would have thought that DOM-to-string would have been example 1 on 
everyone's list.

Gavin
