I do not know "ParsedXML"'s DOM implementation.

However, cycles are quite common for DOM's due to the
cyclic relationship between parent and children.
Unless great care is taken, DOM tree can be highly cyclic
and would therefore not be garbage collectable by Pythons
1.5.2 reference counting garbage collector.
