Senaka Fernando commented on AXIS2C-868:
----------------------------------------

Hi there,

The user is not supposed to call the axiom_element_free() method at the moment. 
Doing so, will lead him into trouble. This method along with other similar 
methods in axiom_comment etc., should not be exposed to a user. It doesn't make 
sense to document this. We should be simply hiding this method. However, as 
this requires an api-level change, this can't be fixed until a 2.x.x release. 
Alternate workarounds may be possible. But, there is a concern on how we could 
improve the inheritance model with respect to nodes, elements etc. with a 2.x.x 
release, in which case, temporary fixes wouldn't make any sense.

Please correct me if I have made a mistake.

Regards,
Senaka
