Nope, you're fine - apart from the mailspew (if that's not at my end).

This list is quiet of late as the PyXML project sees little development 
these days. minidom, for all its flaws, is a pretty stable target, and 
4DOM use is in decline.

That's pretty trivial:

     OONS= 'http://openoffice.org/2001/toolbar'
     doc= minidom.parse(PATH)

     item= doc.getElementsByTagNameNS(OONS, 'toolbaritem')[0]
     item.setAttributeNS(OONS, 'toolbar:visible', 'true')

     fp= open(PATH, 'wb')
     doc.writexml(fp)
     fp.close()

minidom's documentation isn't that in-depth, but then it doesn't need to 
be, as most of the manipulation methods are standard ones documented by 
W3C DOM Level 2 Core.
