Well, I *was* sure it was a 4DOM node in that case. It turned out the DOM
abstraction layer in Narval was broken somehow broken and in this very
case the used DOM is pDomlette. The bug occurs in other places where a
pDomlette is expected and it is not possible to StripXml an element
because 0.11.1b2 is not compatible with PyXML 0.6.5 in this regard. I have
filed in bug #434835 on this issue. 

I think that 0.11.1 being incompatible with PyXML 0.6.5 is not a Good
Thing, since it gets end users very confused. We cannot request  that they
should use an unreleased version of PyXML (which has fixes in xml.dom.ext
for this). Could you consider rolling back this change until the next
release of PyXML ?
