xml-dev - Re: att="sé1"

[Steve Withall <stevew@access.com.au>]

Patrice,

The DOM itself clearly does not support getting back the original value - but Attribute (in Java) is just an interface, so implementations of it can add extra features. DOM appears to be designed for relatively simple end user manipulation of a document, not the more complex tasks involved in, say, authoring.

I have just modified an 'Attribute' class of my own to implement the DOM interface, and my class does more than the DOM interface (for example, it stores the whitespace in and around the attribute.) It seems to work quite well: you can use purely the DOM interface if you wish, and call the extra methods if you need to do more.

Regards, Steve.
