I agree. As almost all programmers I'm very lazy when it's time to write
documentation...

That was in an older version...

in CVS there is already a version where DOMString has a constructor
getting std::string and a toString() conversion method. There are still a
few things to work on, and then we can release the new version.

going back to this point, I don't think it was my intention to have the
toC method converting to Latin1, in fact I thought it was going to
UTF8. I'll have to check this.

As the number of messages regarding gmetadom is increasing, I will try to
open a mailing list for it.
