Elliotte, since you are asking about new features, here
is a more low-level idea, but one that would really come handy for
me. Why not add a functionality that makes XOM
render XML as colored HTML?
for example, if you have:
<greeting value="friend">Hello</greeting>
it would be nice to have something like this:
doc.toHTML();
that returns:
<<span class="green">greeting</span>
<span class="red">value</span>="friend">Hello
</<span class="green">greeting</span>>
How to decide the colors? maybe a strategy pattern of some kind.
HashMap elemcolors = new HashMap();
elemcolors.add("greeting","green");
HashMap attrcolors = new HashMap();
attrcolors.add("value","red");
doc.toHTML(elemcolors,attrcolors);
for good measure, you might throw in a feature that lets one choose
if the want to use CSS or the FONT tag.
It would help me visualizing WURFL snippets in web-based admin tools
and I am sure other developers might find it useful when they least expect it.
Thank you
Luca
PS: why don't you get rid of the XHTML mime type?
it bugs me that I can't browse www.xom.nu with internet explorer.
text/html is the standard, man. At least provide an alternative version!
