+  <simpara>This module defines a number of classes. The DOM XML
+   functions return a parsed tree of the XML document with
+   each node being an object belonging to one of these classes.
+
+  <!-- class Dom document -->
+  <!-- has member functions
+        array root([int doc_handle]) 
+           returns array of root nodes of this document. Array
+           elements are objects of class "Dom node" having properties of
+           "node" (resource), "type" (long), "name" (string)
+           and optionally "content" (string).
+
+        array children([ int node ])
+           returns an array of child nodes of this element. Array
+           elements are objects of class "Dom node" having properties
+           of "node" (resource), "type" (long), "name" (string)
+           and optionally "content" (string).
+
+        object add_root([int doc_handle,] string name)
+           Add a root node to document.
+
+           returns an object of class "Dom node" having properties
+           of "node" (resource), "type" (long), "name" (string)
+           and optionally "content" (string). 
+
+        object intdtd([int doc_handle])
+           returns the DTD of document.
+
+           returns an object of class "Dtd" having properties
+           of "dtd" (resource), "sysid" (string), "name" (string)
+           and optionally "extid" (string).
+
+        string dumpmem([int doc_handle])
+           dumps document into string.

+
+        array children([int node])
+          as above
+
+        object parent([ int node])
+          returns Dom node object
+          (parent of this node)
+
+        new_child
+        string getattr([int node,] string attrname)
+          get value of attribute named attrname
+
+        bool setattr([int node,] string attrname, string value)
+          set value of given attribute.
+
+        array attributes([int node])
+          returns associative array of (string name, string value)
+          pairs.
+
+        object node(string name)
+          creates a named Dom node object.
