Sure, but he also specifically asked for an implementation of

http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/python-binding.html

minidom *is* such an implementation (at least of a subset). If I
was to implement the entire thing, I'd base it on top of minidom:
SVGDocument needs to inherit from Document, and SVGSVGElement
needs to inherit from SVGLocatableElement needs to inherit from
SVGElement needs to inherit from Element.
