If you have one-to-one mapping between derived types and element names,
then you could instead have a map of std::type_info to handler functions.
This will be faster than comparing strings (element names) and you won't
need to maintain the DOM association.

See the Xerces-C++ documentation.

Again, refer to the documentation. Specifically, Section 5.1, "DOM
Association".
