Description

Through 5.1.0.0, each Element had an optional List of its child-nodes, and a CaseInsensitiveMap of its attributes.

These could be removed, replaced with some linked lists, and thus, optimized for creation of the DOM and streaming, with less emphasis on manipulating the DOM after the fact. Should be a significant decrease in number of short-lived objects (Maps, Map.Entry, List, etc.).
