I don't think we should add another Domlette to the mix, regardless of
how thin.  Why not just have a Python class API that delegates to
cDomlette (through explicit invocation)?  Of course this approach would
mean more complex pickling code.

Another option is to simply use minidom as a base for Stylesheets,
extended with whatever it's missing.  This would be best for the PyXML
folks.
