Having "grown up" with XPath and the DOM via MSXML, I can understand
that feeling. At the same time, however, I always thought that it was
weird that the DOM was defined in such a way that so many properties and
methods were "n/a" on so many objects. It always felt to me that
shoehorning everything into Node was convenience at the expense of
sensibility.
