DTD Parsing

[Felipe Bastos Nunes]

I'll look at the options. But anyway, only to give an example of the
configs I told, the ShoX project (at sourceforge.net) has xml as
config files. I'm not talking about common users to edit the xmls,
it's about the developer edit them :-) I'm working in a python
wireless sensor network simulator, some builtin functions at python
will greatly increase the ease in doing this.

Does any, libxml2 or lxml, collect children like jdom does in java?
    List<Element> children = myRoot.getChildren();

Or just doing a Handler to find the children?
