For the same reason regex was deperecated in favour of "re" -- it's a 
better solution. If anyone will *really* want xmllib's interface, she'll
probably write it as a front end to expat, and most users wants to know
right away what is the recommended solution. Dropping xmllib out of the
distribution is *not* an option, however.
