Just so everyone knows, cDomlette will be read/write (well, with limitations) 
in 4Suite 0.12.0.  This is Chimezie's main task.  My own main task is 
completing the external entity and XInclude support, and building in some very 
exciting XPath facilities that will result in some huge speed-ups in 4Suite.
