Yeah, the domxml lack of api stability is a deterrant to do many usefull
things to provide interoperability and plug-and-play features to
phpgroupware within a datacenter.

For example, i need asyncronous importing of xml documents that come
from other applications in the network and need to fill up phpgroupware
applications data, this is why im making a simple wrapper that just
abstract the domxml into a single interface so that it will work with
the same api between versions. 

Nothing to it, just a class that provides the abstraction and underneath
calls any of the different domxml functions depending on php version. 

Ill release all the toolkit (generic xml import/export for contacts,
accounts, calendar and some elearning apps that we are about to release)
soon.

I dunno, but this could help with the sync capability for people that
want to start early.
