from what I can tell, most of the stuff under Lib/xml is between two and three
years old.   the last major PyXML sync appears to be against 1.82, in january
2003.  there are a few bug fixes since then, but that's about it.

what's the status of PyXML?  is it time to move it over to svn.python.org and
bring it up to 1.0 (whatever that would mean?)
