This is DOM parsing, not SAX parsing.

1. The title of this ticket begins with "xml.sax and xml.dom...".
2. I am creating a SAX parser and passing it to xml.dom, which uses it.

So break layers of abstraction, then. Or else, use dom.expatbuilder, and ignore SAX/pulldom for DOM parsing.

Is that really the answer?

Read the source code to xml.dom., and write hacks based on what I find there? Note also that xml.dom.expatbuilder does not appear to be an external API--there is no mention of it in the documentation for xml.dom..

This tracker is really not the place to ask questions; use python-list for that.

That was a rhetorical question.

The answer is, as best I can tell, "You can't do that."
