The task is... Load the contents/file to a TObject descendant, modify the data in the object(s) then build up XMLs from it a save back to file(s). Without lost any "TDOMNode.TextContent".

With a sample application but not with the real life application. :-(
(My real application just find node for every second FindNode call.)
With the attached example and test xml file I got the next result:
