On top of our PyDom, I have implemented XSL-Pattern, the
pattern sublanguage of the XSL working draft (16-December-1998).

Patterns are used extensively in the XSL transformation
language and its control structures.
They can be used outside XSL, too, for e.g. querying/selecting/matching
parts of HTML/SGML/XML documents.

To build the pattern parser, I have used Scott Hassan's PyBison
package.

A small patch to "xml.dom.core" was needed (attached) to
fix a missing "len(...)" in the DOMs attribute handling.
