:-) Well, I need the test now for XML::Xalan's DOM API which I've just
finished. 
Since there's another high priority goal to work on at this moment, I
don't think I'd have time to write the test myself.
Maybe later, when PerlDOM has born, and if still there's nobody working
on the test! :-)

Uh yes, it also has the same generate() method! I didn't see it before,
and I thought you had removed it when you rewrote LibXML::SAX::Generator
into this, and just use the dom internally. 
Haven't tried the to_sax() function. Has XML::DOM already supported
namespace?

IMO, it would be better if the Generator is pulled out as a separate
module, so every DOM implementation doesn't have to come with its own
generator, duplicating the same work again and again.
