I got the code to compile on MSVC 7.1. I think the compiler was
confused because of the detail namespace. If you move the factory
function out of the detail namespace and change the code accordingly
it does compile. OK, not quite, I also need to include the assert.h
header. Do you want to change that in your code?

Also, the test code is crashing. I have tried dom.cpp , so far but it
seems to me that there are some bugs in the test code.

I don't think it makes much sense to follow up on these issues since
you have new library version ready.
