	Good point, if you're going to add a child, "child" should be somewhere 
in the method call to do that. How would you feel if the function were 
like this:

element.addChild(3, newElement);

Of course, given the current API in the CVS, it might be named 
"addContent" instead, which isn't quite as clear, but shouldn't be a major 
stumbling block.
