Summary: [4DOM] normalize() fails on DocumentFragments

Details: I only tested this on 4Suite 0.10.0, please tell me if this was
fixed in 0.10.1.

Calling normalize() on a document fragment does not recurse to the child
elements (though it processes text nodes that are immediate childs of the
DF. Workaround is manually iterating through the child nodes of the DF and
calling normalize() manually.

Sample code:
from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
d = Sax2.FromXml('<doc/>') # Yes, I know I'm a lazy boy...

df = d.createDocumentFragment()
df.appendChild(d.createElementNS('','foo'))
df.firstChild.appendChild(d.createTextNode('textNode1 '))
df.firstChild.appendChild(d.createTextNode('textNode2 '))

print 'before normalize'
print df.firstChild

df.normalize()

print 'after normalize'
print df.firstChild
