Thanks, Konstantin, I very much appreciate your suggestion. However, the 
XML files we're reading are rather small, so I'm not yet sure if it's 
worth replacing QDomDocument, merely for performance reasons. Also I 
have mixed feelings about getting an extra third party library 
dependency. So anyone please let me know if there are still more reasons 
to stop using QDomDocument  :-)

Kind regards, Niels
