Ah, I forgot to say that lxml.etree is obviously flexible enough to support a
DOM compatible implementation on top of itself. It's just that no-one has done
it and it is unlikely that someone takes the time to actually do it. It would
not add any functionality that isn't there already, just with a less pythonic API.
