Which of those do you see as feasible?

The simplexml methodology in DOM is definitely not going to happen. Not 
worth adding confusion into the API (can already do most this stuff 
using SimpleXML) to save a couple keystrokes.
The only thing there that requires additional lines is deleting all 
children, but even that can be done with 2 lines of code.
$newnode = $node->cloneNode(FALSE); /* shallow copy */
$node->parentNode->replaceChild($newnode, $node); /* Swap out nodes */

The issue Thies brought up of course is kind of an always open ended issue.

XML Signatures/Encryption: Already looking into the xmlsec library - 
will eventually get around to this one. I had a hell of a time doing 
this stuff using only the current extensions. (It is possible btw but a 
bitch).
