I think other solution would be better. There is no reason for xmlnode
object to implement any interface. All its child objects already have
IXMLDOMNode interface. xmlnode could be a common struct stored by child
objects and there could be set of function with common method
implementation. This way we could also avoid ugly tests for node type in
node.c, because we can handle the difference outside node.c.

Casting function in vtbl is not an acceptable solution. If you have to
do that, it means that the design is bad.
