+=head1 NAME
+
+XML::DOM::Document - An XML document node in XML::DOM
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+XML::DOM::Document extends L<XML::DOM::Node>.
+
+It is the main root of the XML document structure as returned by 
+XML::DOM::Parser::parse and XML::DOM::Parser::parsefile.
+
+Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc.
+cannot exist outside the context of a Document, the Document interface
+also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. The
+Node objects created have a getOwnerDocument method which associates
+them with the Document within whose context they were created.
+
+=head2 METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item getDocumentElement
+
+This is a convenience method that allows direct access to
+the child node that is the root Element of the document.
+
+=item getDoctype
+
+The Document Type Declaration (see DocumentType) associated
+with this document. For HTML documents as well as XML
+documents without a document type declaration this returns
+undef. The DOM Level 1 does not support editing the Document
+Type Declaration.
+
+B<Not In DOM Spec>: This implementation allows editing the doctype. 
+See I<XML::DOM::ignoreReadOnly> for details.
+
+=item getImplementation
+
+The DOMImplementation object that handles this document. A
+DOM application may use objects from multiple implementations.
+
+=item createElement (tagName)
+
+Creates an element of the type specified. Note that the
+instance returned implements the Element interface, so
+attributes can be specified directly on the returned object.
+
+DOMExceptions:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
+
+Raised if the tagName does not conform to the XML spec.
+
+=back
+
+=item createTextNode (data)
+
+Creates a Text node given the specified string.
+
+=item createComment (data)
+
+Creates a Comment node given the specified string.
+
+=item createCDATASection (data)
+
+Creates a CDATASection node given the specified string.
+
+=item createAttribute (name [, value [, specified ]])
+
+Creates an Attr of the given name. Note that the Attr
+instance can then be set on an Element using the setAttribute method.
+
+B<Not In DOM Spec>: The DOM Spec does not allow passing the value or the 
+specified property in this method. In this implementation they are optional.
+
+Parameters:
+ I<value>     The attribute's value. See Attr::setValue for details.
+              If the value is not supplied, the specified property is set to 0.
+ I<specified> Whether the attribute value was specified or whether the default
+              value was used. If not supplied, it's assumed to be 1.
+
+DOMExceptions:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
+
+Raised if the name does not conform to the XML spec.
+
+=back
+
+=item createProcessingInstruction (target, data)
+
+Creates a ProcessingInstruction node given the specified name and data strings.
+
+Parameters:
+ I<target>  The target part of the processing instruction.
+ I<data>    The data for the node.
+
+DOMExceptions:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
+
+Raised if the target does not conform to the XML spec.
+
+=back
+
+=item createDocumentFragment
+
+Creates an empty DocumentFragment object.
+
+=item createEntityReference (name)
+
+Creates an EntityReference object.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Additional methods not in the DOM Spec
+
+=over 4
+
+=item getXMLDecl and setXMLDecl (xmlDecl)
+
+Returns the XMLDecl for this Document or undef if none was specified.
+Note that XMLDecl is not part of the list of child nodes.
+
+=item setDoctype (doctype)
+
+Sets or replaces the DocumentType. 
+B<NOTE>: Don't use appendChild or insertBefore to set the DocumentType.
+Even though doctype will be part of the list of child nodes, it is handled
+specially.
+
+=item getDefaultAttrValue (elem, attr)
+
+Returns the default attribute value as a string or undef, if none is available.
+
+Parameters:
+ I<elem>    The element tagName.
+ I<attr>    The attribute name.
+
+=item getEntity (name)
+
+Returns the Entity with the specified name.
+
+=item createXMLDecl (version, encoding, standalone)
+
+Creates an XMLDecl object. All parameters may be undefined.
+
+=item createDocumentType (name, sysId, pubId)
+
+Creates a DocumentType object. SysId and pubId may be undefined.
+
+=item createNotation (name, base, sysId, pubId)
+
+Creates a new Notation object. Consider using 
+XML::DOM::DocumentType::addNotation!
+
+=item createEntity (parameter, notationName, value, sysId, pubId, ndata)
+
+Creates an Entity object. Consider using XML::DOM::DocumentType::addEntity!
+
+=item createElementDecl (name, model)
+
+Creates an ElementDecl object.
+
+DOMExceptions:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
+
+Raised if the element name (tagName) does not conform to the XML spec.
+
+=back
+
+=item createAttlistDecl (name)
+
+Creates an AttlistDecl object.
+
+DOMExceptions:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
+
+Raised if the element name (tagName) does not conform to the XML spec.
+
+=back
+
+=item expandEntity (entity [, parameter])
+
+Expands the specified entity or parameter entity (if parameter=1) and returns
+its value as a string, or undef if the entity does not exist.
+(The entity name should not contain the '%', '&' or ';' delimiters.)
+
+=item check ( [$checker] )
+
+Uses the specified L<XML::Checker> to validate the document.
+If no XML::Checker is supplied, a new XML::Checker is created.
+See L<XML::Checker> for details.
+
+=item check_sax ( [$checker] )
+
+Similar to check() except it uses the SAX interface to XML::Checker instead of 
+the expat interface. This method may disappear or replace check() at some time.
+
+=item createChecker ()
+
+Creates an XML::Checker based on the document's DTD.
+The $checker can be reused to check any elements within the document.
+Create a new L<XML::Checker> whenever the DOCTYPE section of the document 
+is altered!
