  I'll take this opportunity to note that I plan on being able to
support this with Expat 1.95.3, which I hope to release this year.
This support will also require changes (I think minor) to pyexpat.
  There is some support for this in Expat now; the API will not
change.  Expat 1.95.x (x < 3) has a bug: the current support only
works for attribute names and not tag names.  I have a patch for this
in the Expat patch manager which I plan to integrate for 1.95.3.
