we have added one introductory paragraph "Commonalities" on that page that is supposed to explain the $db variable, but it may well be that it's not really noticed, or may be misleading. > When I find more time, I can > provide more detailed recommendations for the above wiki page. That would be great; you'll probably be more efficient in rephrasing the relevant snippets than us (maybe it's just one, two sentences that may need to be replaced). > "Checks if the specified resource > exists and if it is an XML document".

What would have to be changed in your opinion to end up with a true document-node to document mapping?
