Vijay

• The name 'dom_parser.hpp' doesn't provide much useful context. What is dom? Could this file just be kdl_parser.h? If not, at least give a hint somewhere on the wiki page as to what DOM stands for.

• kdl_parser::treeFromRobotModel builds a tree from a urdf::Model. Thus, maybe this function should be called kdl_parser::treeFromUrdfModel?

• Add lines to the xml example, showing type information for xml_doc.
• Assuming that doxygen is populated, I would link to the various function descriptions from the wiki.

John

• adding to Vijay's comment, 'dom_parser' might be ok if you are planning to support multiple robot description formats in the future.

• robot_description_new-->robot_description

• adding const to all converter function input parameters
