Note that the 4DOM DOM is *not* the official Zope DOM to be used; it is
deemed (amongst other reasons) to be too heavy for Zope use. 

Zope will, at some point in the future, support *a* DOM Level 2 interface,
so as long as you stick to using only API calls that are compiant with
that spec you should be fine. Anything will be better than trying to find
that ole python-xml release wich still has a 'core.py' file to patch ;)
