In case you've wondered what to use instead: xml.dom.ext.reader is the
package that supports reading streams (strings, files, URLs) into DOM
trees; that gives you a 4DOM tree. Alternatively, you can use
xml.dom.minidom.parse to read a file into a minidom tree.

Eventually, the DOM level 3 interfaces should be implemented to allow
"portable" access to a DOM parser.
