The name itself +is of a moon of Saturn. + +The library is intended to be 'vanilla' and generic. The +library has its own parser, even if it is not used. +The base code should never be modified to be Inkscape-specific. +It should not have any dependencies beyond STL, nor +should it veer away from adherence to the W3C DOM APIs. + +The most common usage of this library would probably be +limited to the classes defined in dom.h. A scriptable +item would inherit and extend org::w3c::dom::Node, and modify +the behaviour of the getters and setters for its attributes. + + + +Bob Jamison |
