Erm, so you're saying that
interface Document : Node {
Document createDocument{} raises {DOMException}
}
isn't valid CORBA syntax and so thats why its not been
included?
Surely the use of IDL is to provide a clear language
neutral specification and not limit that specification
in anyway, nor tie it to a CORBA infrastructure. The
OpenXML parser, and the SAXON interface mentioned
in an earlier post, both manage to create new Document
instances so obviously there is a means of doing it.
Are potential implementation difficulties actually
driving the format of the specification (i.e. interface).
Seems a roundabout way of doing it if it is.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
