I am using selected methods like getParentNode() quite regularly.
Unfortunately the ZDOM is not actively developed on at the moment. AFAIK the
attempts to write a "Zope XML story" have been more or less put on hold
because the current implementations are too slow to be useful. This is more
a problem of XML as such and of the Python XML tools than of Zope though ...
