Just to clarify.  We actually plan to implement both "node.parent" and 
"node._get_parent()", with the former just being a __setattr__ wrapper for the 
latter.  We are looking into ExtensionClass, as Christian Tismer suggested, as 
perhaps a way to minimize the performance hit of the former.

I'm not sure the argument is entirely over.  If it is, I think it's time to 
start on a sketch of Python-DOM binding document.  If eventually a different 
scheme than the two I mention above is chosen, we shall provide support for it 
in 4DOM.
