text nodes from the dictionnary

provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
- rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
available.

access
for some optional internal locking), and this library needs to be usable
by nonthreaded programs too, like php4-domxml
