Works for me. The other thing I always use from cgi is escape() -- will that be available somewhere else too? xml.sax.saxutils.escape() would be an appropriate replacement, though the location is a little funky.

More than a little IMO. :-(

Ideally it would be xml.escape(). Perhaps there are more of these generally- useful XML thingies to put there?

Not really -- I'd rather see the xml package as a pure container, with all its contents in submodules (or subpackages).

Also, I don't see this exclusive to XML -- HTML isn't XML (yet).
