I think this is a bad idea: xmllib is the only 100% python solution. Even the 
the sax/dom stuff isn't part of the standard distribution any user wanting to 
experiment with xml will just have to grab the sax/dom modules over the net 
and off they go. This is a lot simpler than if they first have to compile 
extension modules, etc.

Of course, this all changes if any of the XML parsers gets incorporated in the 
Python core, but even then I think keeping xmllib as a fallback method is a 
good idea.
