Does that include the files which currently live in /xml/test/dom? I
run that as 'python test.py', and see no such output. Some of the
tests end with printing 'foo works', some only write the test name
(such as

********** Node **********
********** NodeList **********
********** NamedNodeMap **********
********** NodeIterator **********
********** TreeWalker **********
********** Attr **********
...

The entire test run ends with

********** HTML HTML_DOM_IMPLEMENTATION **********
testing source code syntax

<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>The Title</TITLE>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY></BODY>
</HTML>
Test Time - 1.782 secs

That probably means 'pass', although I'm not certain whether I would
recognize a failure.
