No.  I got it exactly backwards.  This is what I find on stock Debian
Python 2.2. install (it's the same as what's in the Python 2.2 I built
myself):

$ grep -i DomstringSizeErr /usr/lib/python2.2/xml/dom/__init__.py
class DomstringSizeErr(DOMException):

This is from latest PyXML:

$ grep -i DomstringSizeErr xml/dom/__init__.py
class DOMStringSizeErr(DOMException):

Looking at Python 2.1 (again stock Debian install) 

$ grep -i DomstringSizeErr /usr/lib/python2.1/xml/dom/__init__.py
class DomstringSizeErr(DOMException):

I am very confused at this point.

Just to make sure my computer is not in the twilight zone, I checked on
a pristine Red Hat box.  Same thing.
