How about just a flag that will allow you to choose and default ot no
prefix?

Subject: Re: Perl XML::GDOME question

The reason I used the GDOME_ prefix was that it was used in the gdome2 C

library.

However, I think you brought a good point, we should consider switching 
to using no prefix, e.g. ELEMENT_NODE, since this is what other DOM 
implementations use, including Perl's own XML::DOM.  That way it would 
follow the DOM spec exactly.  It would make it easier to adapt XML::DOM
code to run under XML::GDOME this way.  And if Matt changes XML::LibXML 
to use the constants without prefixes, it will make it easy to switch 
between XML::GDOME and XML::LibXML.  This would be very good, since one
of 
the goals is to make XML::GDOME API-compatible with XML::LibXML.

Thanks,
TJ
