To me, the core part of PyXML are the parsers (expat and xmlproc), and
the parser APIs (SAX and DOM); for all of those, you'll see
improvements in upcoming releases.

As amk explained, free software lives from user contributions. Without
any contributions, PyXML will look essentially the same in 9 months as
it does today. There is a chance that we start distributing more parts
of 4Suite in PyXML, in addition to 4DOM; these parts would most likely
be 4XPath and 4XSLT.
