Description

The attached patch and testcase extends DOMCategory to also support:

node.text()
node.name()
node.parent()
nodelist.iterator()

While not strictly necessary, these extensions make DOM processing closer to XmlSlurper and XmlParser usage.

There are some other discrepancies between DOMCategory and XmlSlurper and XmlParser usage but I will make this the subject of a subsequent issue.
