<startled blink> Huh?  Doesn't use them?  Are you sure this is with
the current version of PyDOM?   It most certainly will not work
without the __getattr__; the test suite crashes when you try it

(Internally, though, the code never uses bar attributes like
.parentNode, calling .get_parentNode() to save the expense of going
through __getattr__ to call .get_parentNode(), so the stuff in
dom.core.py might well work without the __getattr__ method.  Callers
will definitely break, though.)
