Me again :) org.xmldb.api.base.Resource has a method getContent() that returns an Object. which I take to describe a very abstract behaviour for data manipulation, so far so good.
In org.xmldb.api.modules.XMLResource there is getContent, getContentAsDOM and getContentAsSAX but there seem to be the expectation that getContent here should in fact return a String. I went with storing Node's in the implementation of XMLResource so my "native format" is Node and not String as in the reference implementation, hence it would be natural for me to return the Node object for getContent instead of converting it to a String. What I'm suggesting is that there is an additional method added to XMLResource called getContentAsString() or possibly getContentAsText() that would match the content retrievers for DOM and SAX and make things very clear.
