Yes I'm actually not very happy with the .dataset attribute for accessing the underlying dataset object. On the other hand, similarly to h5py and netCDF4, I find it nice to have dict-like access to other nodes of the tree, e.g., dsnode['../othernode/childnode']. I guess this might co-exist with dict-like access to dataset variables if we ensure that there is no conflict between the names of the child nodes and the names of the dataset variables. Or maybe we can still access a child node that have the same name than a variable by writing dsnode['./name'] instead of dsnode['name']. Conflicts would remain for attribute-style access anyway...

@shoyer do you think that a PR for such a DatasetNode class has any chance of being merged at some point here?
