imo, the use of samename siblings is should be avoided. afaik was it
only introduced in order to be able to import xml documents. real
applications will have a more sophisticated datamodel.

but i agree, the 'copy' case is anoying.

I have a parent node of a nodetype with a childNodeDefinition that allows
same-name siblings.  I want to copy one of the children of the parent node
to the same parent (with the same name...just different index).  The copy
method does not return the copied node.  Is there a better way to get the
copy other than the following?

lock parent
get parent child nodes
get size of child nodes....storing last index
copy child to same parent
get node at stored index + 1
unlock parent

Why doesn't copy return the copied node?  Another candidate for an
extension?
