The point I was trying to make was that whatever Zope XML solution is
created, I think it's going to need to support arbitrary dynamic
granularity somehow. XMLDocument supported by storing objects at the
finest granularity it could, and then aggregating and serializing them
together if you wanted a containing object.

I don't know how ParsedXML supports this, if at all.
