While this may be the case, it might also be less correct: sgmlop has a
number of bugs, or, rather, i-don't-care-about-this-stuff things.
That said: If you are not satisfied with xmlrpc parsing speed, feel free
to contribute patches for xmlprclib. Notice that xmlrpclib is in the
core, so if you want to rely on things in PyXML, forking it for PyXML
might be necessary.
