Moving to XML

First an apology

Previous versions of this course contained a howling error at this point. It suggested creating DOM objects essentially by calling the newInstance method of the implementing classes. This only works with the particular DOM implementation you happen to be using and is not portable between DOM implementations (or even, necessarily, between successive versions of the same DOM implementation). So clearly it is very bad practice to do this.

I can only apologise to people who were mislead by this.
