Stefan Behnel <scoder at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

It's the tree based API most python users are parsing XML with, though. So I do not agree that it's comparing apples and oranges, not at all. It's comparing tree based XML libraries, only one of which is worth being called "light weight", and that's not the one that is currently carrying that name.

I think it's worth telling new users what they are committing to when they write code that uses MiniDOM. The documentation should allow them to understand that.
