[cxml-devel] Bugs when working with document nodes

Aha.  The spec says something about implementation-dependent behaviour
when cloning documents.  I have not investigated what other DOM
implementations are doing here, but creating a new document referencing
the same DTD data structures seems like a good idea.

I will implement that and let you know when it is done.

create-document is indeed a very simple function that just creates a new
document without any DTD information, similar to the result of parsing
an "empty" XML document into DOM.

I'm not sure I understand what precise behaviour you expect from
create-document or how to implement it.  Can you elaborate?
