I think this is for the XML SIG. I don't know why it is here. SIGs discuss
and design, then roll up their final decisions.
I haven't seen a clear consensus or decision from the XML SIG yet. You've
got your TinyXPath module, but (forget who) has another module for much the
same thing. There was a discussion of APIs. A discussion of how/where SRE
could play into the game.
IMO, these are all a bunch of points for the XML SIG, not python-dev.
