I thought that I documented this pretty well.  If you had trouble
finding this frome the Parsed XML documetation, it's a bug that should
be filed.

NodeType is a DOM implementation feature, which is described by the
W3C docs and linked to in several help screens.  There is also
discussion on the Parsed XML & Zope XML wikis, linked to by the docs.
The DOM interfaces that Parsed XML implements are listed in the Parsed
XML docs, and any deviations from this list are also bugs that should
be filed.
