Is this really a problem?  PyXML would be a prereq for 4Suite, and would have 
everything it needs.  The 4Suite RPM vould write to the xml/dom dir the 
additional stuff.  This would mandate that we keep at least __init__ and en_us 
in sync.  But right after this release we plan to have a closer look at the 
co-packaging between PyXML and 4Suite, and I don't think all this will be such 
a mess for long.

I've already taken the preliminary step by updating 4Suite's setup.py to 
install PyXML as well if it's there.  See an announcement coming soon on the 
4Suite list.
