When you know you are definitely working with a smallish document then
the DOM is fine. Personally I think the DOM is too fine-grain and
verbose, but that is probably because I'm used to Perl and its
shorthands and regex goodness. (This is probably why I prefer XPath
and to a certain extent XML::Simple.)

So where does this leave us in this discussion?
