Talk about not being very intuitive.  As I mentioned in another
thread, the DOM unit is pretty damn programmer unfriendly. I don't
care if it is W3C compliant or not, it just isn't logical or intuitive
at all.

I'm with you on this one Frank. I would have though the number of
attributes, or child nodes etc would use a Count property.  If it ever
comes down to it, and I am forced to use XML in a project, I would
write a much more simplified API to the DOM unit. GetNode(ANodePath),
ChildCount, Attribute[] and AttributeCount would be on the top of my
list.
