Agreed.

Concrete proposal:

* add Expat and PyExpat (I'm +0 on other XML items)
* add "network" package
* add network.davlib, network.xmlrpclib, network.soaplib
* upgrade httplib
* move: ftplib, gopherlib, httplib, imaplib, nntplib, poplib, smtplib,
        telnetlib, urllib
* +0 on moving: BaseHTTPServer, CGIHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer,
                SocketServer, asynchat, asyncore


Cheers,
