  Have you had time to work on this?  Would you like me to take a look
at it?  I'm not familiar with the 4DOM code, but would like to see the
exceptions defined and available from xml.dom soon.

  Perhaps we should provide a Node class in xml.dom that defines just
those values, and implementations can inherit that or duplicate the
values in their own Node implementation.  Nothing other than the
enumeration values should be defined in xml.dom.Node (except maybe a
docstring).
