NAME
       XML::XPath::Node - internal representation of a node

AAPPII
       The Node API aims to emulate DOM to some extent, however the API isn't
       quite compatible with DOM. This is to ease transition from XML::DOM
       programming to XML::XPath. Compatibility with DOM may arise once
       XML::DOM gets namespace support.

       nneeww

       Creates a new node. See the sub-classes for parameters to pass to
       new().

       ggeettNNooddeeTTyyppee

       Returns one of ELEMENTNODE, TEXTNODE, COMMENTNODE, ATTRIBUTENODE,
       PROCESSINGINSTRUCTIONNODE or NAMESPACENODE. UNKNOWNNODE is returned
       if the sub-class doesn't implement getNodeType - but that means
       something is broken! The constants are exported by default from
       XML::XPath::Node. The constants have the same numeric value as the
       XML::DOM versions.

       ggeettPPaarreennttNNooddee

       Returns the parent of this node, or undef if this is the root node.
       Note that the root node is the root node in terms of XPath - not the
       root element node.

       ttoossaaxx (( $$hhaannddlleerr | %handlers )

       Generates sax calls to the handler or handlers. See the PerlSAX docs
       for details (not yet implemented correctly).
