Roadmap for API Changes ↑

overhaul serialize/pretty printing API ↑

overhaul and optimize the SAX parsing ↑

Node should not be Enumerable; and should have a better attributes API ↑

improve CSS query parsing ↑

DocumentFragment ↑

Better Syntax for custom XPath function handler ↑

Better Syntax around Node#xpath and NodeSet#xpath ↑

Encoding ↑

We have a lot of issues open around encoding. How bad are things? Somebody who knows encoding well should head this up.

Reader ↑

It's fundamentally broken, in that we can't stop people from crashing their application if they want to use object reference unsafely.

Class methods that require Document ↑

There are a few methods, like Nokogiri::XML::Comment.new that require a Document object.

We should probably make Document instance methods to wrap this, since it's a non-obvious expectation and thus fails as a convention.

So, instead, let's make alternative methods like Nokogiri::XML::Document#new_comment, and recommend those as the proper convention.

collect_namespaces is just broken ↑

collect_namespaces is returning a hash, which means it can't return namespaces with the same prefix. See this issue for background:

github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/885

Do we care? This seems like a useless method, but then again I hate XML, so what do I know?
