In general, the DOM API is not threadsafe. I think the DOM Working Group's
"open issues list" has a discussion of why -- basically, it's a lot of
overhead, and DOM-level threadsafety is generally not useful since most
apps where this is an issue really need to protect _sequences_ of DOM
operations.

Last time I checked, the Xerces DOMs promised that separate Documents would
never interfere with each other but multithreaded access to a single
Document (and/or any of the nodes owned by it) was explicitly unsafe. I'm
not sure whether that's still the status in the most recent code.
