I've had success with libxslt [1] (and libxml2 [2]) on Linux with
Python 2.3.x and earlier, and I imagine that it's portable enough to
work successfully on Windows and has already been tested with Python
2.4. Moreover, I don't think many people complain about the
performance of libxslt/libxml2. ;-)

If you find the supplied Python bindings for libxml2 either
"un-Pythonic" or insufficiently DOM-like, you might want to try lxml
[3] or libxml2dom [4].
