-/* Document-class: LibXML::XML::Node
- *
- * Nodes are the primary objects that make up an XML document.
- * The node class represents most node types that are found in
- * an XML document (but not LibXML::XML::Attributes, see LibXML::XML::Attr).
- * It exposes libxml's full API for creating, querying
- * moving and deleting node objects.  Many of these methods are
- * documented in the DOM Level 3 specification found at:
- * http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/. */
-
-
-/* Memory management:
- *
- * The bindings create a one-to-one mapping between ruby objects and
- * libxml documents and libxml parent nodes (ie, nodes that do not
- * have a parent and do not belong to a document). In these cases,
- * the bindings manage the memory.  They do this by installing a free
- * function and storing a back pointer to the Ruby object from the xmlnode
- * using the _private member on libxml structures.  When the Ruby object
- * goes out of scope, the underlying libxml structure is freed.  Libxml
- * itself then frees all child node (recursively).
- *
- * For all other nodes (the vast majority), the bindings create temporary
- * Ruby objects that get freed once they go out of scope. Thus there can be
- * more than one ruby object pointing to the same xml node.  To mostly hide
- * this from programmers on the ruby side, the #eql? and #== methods are 
- * overriden to check if two ruby objects wrap the same xmlnode.  If they do,
- * then the methods return true.  During the mark phase, each of these temporary
- * objects marks its owning document, thereby keeping the Ruby document object
- * alive and thus the xmldoc tree.
- *
- * In the sweep phase of the garbage collector, or when a program ends, 
- * there is no order to how Ruby objects are freed. In fact, the ruby document
- * object is almost always freed before any ruby objects that wrap child nodes.
- * However, this is ok because those ruby objects do not have a free function
- * and are no longer in scope (since if they were the document would not be freed).

+ * The bindings create a one-to-one mapping between ruby objects and
+ * libxml documents and libxml parent nodes (ie, nodes that do not
+ * have a parent and do not belong to a document). In these cases,
+ * the bindings manage the memory.  They do this by installing a free
+ * function and storing a back pointer to the Ruby object from the xmlnode
+ * using the _private member on libxml structures.  When the Ruby object
+ * goes out of scope, the underlying libxml structure is freed.  Libxml
+ * itself then frees all child node (recursively).
+ *
+ * For all other nodes (the vast majority), the bindings create temporary
+ * Ruby objects that get freed once they go out of scope. Thus there can be
+ * more than one ruby object pointing to the same xml node.  To mostly hide
+ * this from programmers on the ruby side, the #eql? and #== methods are 
+ * overriden to check if two ruby objects wrap the same xmlnode.  If they do,
+ * then the methods return true.  During the mark phase, each of these temporary
+ * objects marks its owning document, thereby keeping the Ruby document object
+ * alive and thus the xmldoc tree.
+ *
+ * In the sweep phase of the garbage collector, or when a program ends, 
+ * there is no order to how Ruby objects are freed. In fact, the ruby document
+ * object is almost always freed before any ruby objects that wrap child nodes.
+ * However, this is ok because those ruby objects do not have a free function
+ * and are no longer in scope (since if they were the document would not be freed).
