Hmph. The xmllib module has been deprecated since Py2.0 but is not listed in PEP 4.

Question: Do we have to keep it for another two years because of that omission? It seems somewhat silly to keep an obsolete, supplanted module that doesn't full support XML 1.0.

it's better to be somewhat silly than to be arrogant and stupid.

if python-dev cares about existing users, xmllib should stay in there until 3.0.
