Interesting. Which implementation "out there" ( so not in the std-lib )
that maps the whole XML into an internal structure and makes it easily
accessible is currently faster? Remark: I have a clearly limited
perspective on this issue. I did not recognize that namespaces are
broken in pyRXP because the XML-docs with which I deal in my company
are used for storing data that are used in industrial production where
one XML-doc matches one system. Those XML are tool-generated and used
as a replacement for initialization-files ( size ~ 1MB - 5MB ) and are
never broken because they are self contained.
