5.3. Mutability

One glaring omission in this chapter is the topic of modifying a DOM tree. That's not an accident; working with DOM is a lot more complex than working with SAX. Rather than drowning you in information, I wanted to give a clear picture of the various node types and structures used in DOM. In the next chapter, in addition to looking at some of the finer points of DOM Levels 2 and 3, I'll address the mutability of DOM trees, and in particular how to create DOM trees. So don't panic -- help is on the way!

5.2. Serialization		5.4. Gotcha!
