I should also add some more details:

There are no Qt 5 plans. Anything about it is speculation. We don't know when 
it will happen and what it will contain -- or what will be left out. Will 
there be a DOM API? No idea.

But my guess is that there won't be.

The interesting thing about the QtXml module in Qt 4 is that it requires very 
little of the rest of Qt. If Qt 5 doesn't come with DOM support, maybe someone 
can port QtXml 4 to Qt 5 and maintain it.

That someone may be able to give DOM the love it needs and make it even 
better. We're not seeing the value in it because we believe XML streaming is 
more useful and more efficient.
