[IronPython] XmlDocument or XDocument in Python/Silverlight

[Michael Foord]

Hello Jonathan,

Do you need to add a reference to the assembly before importing from it?

In the Silverlight chapter of IronPython in Action I use 'XmlReader' for 
parsing XML. I have already (in an earlier chapter) provided a wrapper 
over this that gives it a SAX like interface. The code worked unmodified 
on Silverlight!
