Re[4]: [cgmo-webcgm] Question about 'grnode'

[Benoit Bezaire <benoit@itedo.com>]

DW> how does that work in XML, e.g.

DW> <p>some more text</p>
DW> <p id="bar">even more text</p>

From my perspective, not quite. In WebCGM, all APS must have an 'id',
which would mean that your example becomes:
<p id="foo">some text </p>
<p id="limitedAccess">some more text</p>
<p id="bar">even more text</p>

So 'limitedAccess' is not accessible via getAppStructureById
(even though it has an id), but is accessible via Node.nextSibling!
I'll try to think of a good way to explain this in the spec.

Something else I have been wondering about is if we need another
WebCGMNode const value for nodeType? Or will APP_STRUCTURE_NODE
suffice for both 'grnode' and 'grobject'?

DW> Good point, and I agree. I just don't know how to properly word the
