DOM Impl: Array or Linked List?

[Clark Evans]

I've been struggling with this slightly, and would
like your feedback.  I'm building a DOM tree.  For
the internal representation, I see two options:

A) A linked list for children

* Easy inserts in middle of list
* Slower non-sequential reads

B) An array for children

* Harder inserts in middle of list
* Faster non-sequential reads

Anyway, I was thinking of implementing
a compromise, a sparse array with 
configurable spacing, depending upon
the document.

Thoughts?

Thank you.
