maybe const-glitches in the Apache c++ bindings

[Thomas Blatter]

Hi,

    i just checked out the Xerces nightly build. I'll list here what i 
think are const-glitches or alike. Most of the ones i found previously are 
now fixed.

    DOMWriter::

    virtual XMLCh*     writeToString(const DOMNode &nodeToWrite) = 0;

    This should take a DOMNode * (and not a reference) like everybody else.

    DOMNode::

    virtual const XMLCh*           getTextContent() const = 0;

    I'd expect here rather a non-const XMLCh* like the above writeToString, 
since I don't think Xerces will ever maintain in memory whole textContents 
for all the nodes.

    DOMImplementation::

    virtual bool  hasFeature(const XMLCh *feature,  const XMLCh *version) = 0;

    Non-const? The DOMDocument::getNormalizationFeature() is const...

    DOMRange::

    virtual const DOMNode* getCommonAncestorContainer() const = 0;

    Why is the returned node for once const?

    Regards

    Thomas Blatter
