Using a setAppData/getAppData was discussed but discarded to avoid
using memory on an exstra refercee per node in the XML-tree that only
a few people woud use.

The solution is to make your own subclass of the Nodes (Document/Element...)
you need to attach application data to and use a factory in the builder
you are using to use your subclasses.
