In this particular case, I need to sort the elements, and the specific
application I'm testing guarantees that the order of the elements "in
the same scope" (this may not be the right term in XML semantics, but
it's what I know how to say) does not matter.  That probably means that
the specific application I'm testing is not using XML in a standard
way, but so be it.

I'm looking at minidom now and I think maybe there's enough
documentation there that I can get a handle on it and do what I need to
do.  Thanks.  (But if anyone else has a specific example I can crib
from, that'd be great.)
