An XML parser is an XML parser. Period.

Sorry to respond to a thread long after its sell-by date.

Just for the record, the statement above was made by the PyRXP people,
not us.  RXP's 8-bit mode exists because it was originally written to
replace a "normalized SGML" parser in an existing (8-bit) application.
I wouldn't recommend compiling it in that mode for any except the most
constrained applications.
