Just modified the code to show elements with all namespaces in effect. I
even inserted an instance variable so that whether a namespace node is a
real attribute of an element is preserved. I guess it is important for a
learning tool to show the trees according to the XPath spec. Of course,
showing correct results is the most important attribute of a learning tool.
Well, the tool is still VERY far from that...

		Yes, you are correct (subject to minor details about
namespaces being
		redefined, etc). Of course, this is a conceptual model: the
implementation
		isn't required to implement the tree in this way.
