xmldoiftext

xmldoiftext

[H. van der Meer]

I have a comment on the name of macro "\xmldoiftext".
The name as is, seems specifically to point to something like:
     <node>some_text</node>
Luckily the manual mentions here "when .. node has some content" and  
this implies the {yes}-branch will be taken also in case of the  
presence of subnodes, even if these lack text content:
     <node><subnode/></node>
I am happy to find that this is indeed the behaviour, because it is  
what I need.

Thus I am inclined to consider "\xmldoifcontent" as a better  
descriptive name instead of "\xmldoiftext". Or is it already too late  
to change its name?
