[XML-SIG] What's in the package?

[Andrew Kuchling]

I'm going to start working on packaging the XML software into a single
distribution, and am wondering about what exactly should go into it.
The candidates are:

	1 saxlib

	2 xmlproc 

	3 DOM

	4 pyexpat extension, plus the source code for Expat
	
	5 sgmlop extension

	6 xmllib.py modified to use sgmlop

1, definitely. 2,4, and 5, probably.  #6, the sgmlop-aware xmllib.py,
would be good, but I'm not sure where to install it.  Overwriting the
existing xmllib.py is evil; perhaps as xml.parser.xmllib?

I'm not sure about DOM; it's not a standard API yet, and I don't know
how closely it matches the current working draft.  (Haven't had time
to check.)  On the other hand, I wouldn't mind including it without
documentation, and with a warning about the non-existence of a
standard.
