101238 -        •  Editing special objects (e.g. concept maps, frames, etc) is
101239 -           done in separate dialogs and the resulting XML appended to
101240 -           the ongoing text display in the XML editor itself.
101241 -
101242 -        •  Inserts, deletes, and so forth are handled in the dom tree
101243 -           to the left of the text display.

101251 -       Large issue is blending of the literate programming code with
101252 -       the rest of the XML handlers. ref DRT 1 4125
101253 -
101254 -       Implementations of dom have all been memory-resident, which
101255 -       poses a problem with enormous documents.  Jack has not found an
101256 -       open-source implementation of a virtual dom system, though such
101257 -       an implementation does exist in a product. ref DRT 1 2772
101258 -
101259 -       Thought is needed on issues that arise from documents that are
101260 -       not necessarily hierarchical in structure. RDF, and Groves might
101261 -       offer a more general representation scheme. ref DRT 1 0294
