That reminds me.  I think it is *very important* that all XOM methods
document the big-O time they require, so that XOM clients are not in
the position of Alan Perlis's Lisp programmers, who know the value
of everything and the cost of nothing.

For example, ownerDocument should say "Requires time O(d), where d
is the depth of this object within its document tree."
