I'm not sure I understand the problem here. If he was using PyXML
0.6.1, there would not be any xml.dom.builder, nor does any online
documentation claim there is (if that's incorrect, please let me know).

However, if he does use 0.5.x, what's wrong with using
xml.dom.builder? It won't give you a 4DOM tree, and yes, it is not
included in later releases anymore - but that doesn't help users who
can't or won't upgrade.

Contributions of documentation are certainly welcome. The easiest
thing is probably to do such stuff on the XML topic guide; feel free
to check that out via CVS.
