New methods in the Node interface

• Adds:

  Base URI

  The URI this document came from. May be null.

  Tree position

  The order of a node relative to another reference node in tree order

  Methods to set the text content of a node

  Methods to test for equality

  Methods to work with namespaces

  Methods to associate user data with each node

• I will only show the new members. These will simply be added to the existing Node interface.

• Java binding:

  package org.w3c.dom;
  
  public interface Node {
  
    public String getBaseURI();
  
    public static final short DOCUMENT_POSITION_DISCONNECTED = 0x01;
    public static final short DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING = 0x02;
    public static final short DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING = 0x04;
    public static final short DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINS = 0x08;
    public static final short DOCUMENT_POSITION_IS_CONTAINED = 0x10;
  
    public static final short DOCUMENT_POSITION_IMPLEMENTATION_SPECIFIC = 0x20;
  
    public short   compareDocumentPosition(Node other) throws DOMException;
  
    public String  getTextContent() throws DOMException;
    public void    setTextContent(String textContent) throws DOMException;
  
    public boolean isSameNode(Node other);
    public boolean isEqualNode(Node arg);
  
    public String  lookupPrefix(String namespaceURI);
    public boolean isDefaultNamespace(String namespaceURI);
    public String  lookupNamespaceURI(String prefix);
  
    public Node    getFeature(String feature, String version);
      
    public Object  setUserData(String key, Object data, UserDataHandler handler);
    public Object  getUserData(String key);
  
  }
