Hi Bohdan,

even though you may think of a dom tree as 'just another tree', there is
really quite a bit of domain-specific semantics associated with it
that makes it impractical to use a general-purpose tree/graph library
as the underlying representation.

To get an idea of what these xml-specific features are, you may look
into the code of libxml2. They do quite a lot of work which you may
be unaware of until you really need it.

Regards,
                Stefan
