Personally, I think this is a good idea, but I'm not sure I'd expect
much action on it.  We seem to have reached a bit of a stagnation point
with PyXML, and the wheels would be very slow to turn for any sort of
change.  I also wonder about resistance to add more C extensions, at
least to the profile of minidom that makes its way into the standard
library.
