Why should this be const? You have a const pointer to a document and you get a non-const pointer to one of the elements of that document? I think we should not use const so much on classes like Document* that are part of a tree. It doesn't make sense to have a const pointer to something but then call firstChild()->parent() and get back a non-const pointer to the same thing. I suggest going the opposite direction and phasing out use of const Document*.
