RE: libxml2 application data

Hi Robin,

Well, I am not very keen on stuffing data into attributes; moreover, I could not store Perl data such as hashrefs, etc...
Using an id is not very effective too; I would have no clue when nodes get destroyed or created.
I really need to associate data to my XML nodes. I would like to do that in Perl, and I like XML::LibXML because I know it is fast and gives access to XPath.

Regards,

Philippe
