"xmlextra" is fine.  It would be nice to invent a way to automatically
add things to the xml.* namespace, but that seems difficult and
error-prone.

The name change simplifies a good many things, and we don't want to
break things *after* 1.6, so let's get it over with now.  My great
fear is breaking existing code and what's worse, Sean's book.  (I'll
have to buy a copy and see what would need to be preserved to keep the
examples running.)
