So utterly confused w/ various XML libraries

Thanks for the great information!

So, now since I'm (in this case) using these XML libraries only through 
the high-level ZSI SOAP API, it's still unclear to me whether I can make 
any of these substitutions.

I just read through some of the docs for PyXML, and apparently it uses 
sgmlop when it can.  Is there a flag or a way to determine if it has 
actually been found and is being used?

Thanks,
Robb
