Isn't that correct? That said, I do hate a bunch of things about the DOM api
with default namespaces and such. Some require null, others accept the empty
string, etc... In general, Stax is the same way. That's why there are a lot
of StringUtils.isEmpty(str) type calls and such to map things semi
consistently.
That said, for the most part, I hate much of DOMUtils as well. For any
parsing things, I've been trying to switch things over to the StaxUtils. I'd
like DOMUtils to just be a few of the generic DOM lookup things.
