yep. i agree. Making domxml w3c-compliant doesn't mean for me removing all the other not-w3c-compliant functions. I don't see any sense in removing this sometimes very handy functions. I'm not sure, why these functions are markes as deprecated in the manual... > > On that note, if you are trying to set the value of an existing node, using > > the replacement (as indicated from the docs) you would should be creating a > > new node and appending it, which means you then should remove the old node. > > Shouldnt there be a set_node_value or similar function to just replace the > > content of an existing node?
