At one point Guido clarified that xml and xmlcore could migrate to xmlplus
and xml over time, just as long as we give people time to change and an
upgrade path.

I understood this as:

pyxml gets an xmlplus alias now
pyxml gives up xml in six months
xmlcore gets an xml alias then
xmlcore name is deprecated sometime later

It's kind of ugly but I could live with it.

If the xmlplus hack works (really works, without subtle side effects) then
I would prefer that.
