I'll see if I get the time ;)

(I thought perhaps the existing documentation (i.e. Prescod's) could
just be dropped into the standard distribution...)

Yes, the cDomlette is extremely fast...

But is pulldom really no more efficient thatn minidom? E.g. if I'm
looking for a record in a Really Large XML file? I would have thought
that not having to build a Really Large DOM tree would help
significantly... Oh, well.
