ISceneNodeFactory manipulates IAttributeExchangingObject ins

Feature request: In irrlicht 1.8, can we have the ISceneNodeFactory renamed to IExchangeFactory that adds/removes IAttributeExchangingObjects?

It makes sense to do it this way, as IAttributeExchangingObjects contain the code to sterilize XML nodes. Also some of my nodes don't need the information contained in ISceneNode.

Then we can remove IGUIElementFactory and make irrlicht a little bit more simpler

Maybe ... we talked about that just recently on IRC as we would need a bunch of further factories otherwise (skins, fonts, geometry and some more).

I also like this idea, less interfaces / less complex interfaces are usually a good thing. Not sure how to approach it though, it would mean a fair bit of API disruption.
