The explanation is that everything that comes after "import" is thereafter usable as an identifier (or expression, in the case of dotted names) in code. ".mymodule" is not a valid expression, so the question would be how to refer to it.
I think a reasonable answer is that you should be able to refer to it simply as 'mymodule'. I don't think that's reasonable: import xml.dom doesn't give you dom, but xml. So import .dom shouldn't give you dom, but . (which is nonsensical, of course).
I don't think it would be "import .dom", but...
from . import dom
It would be another module in xml doing the importing, so xml will have already been imported.
