XML-SIG and PyXML aren't as closely tied together as some people seem
to think (or atleast, they shouldn't be); any discussion of XML and
Python is welcome.

In fact, anybody who wants to get write access to the XML-SIG web
pages to expand their contents, just let me know.

Provided there is proper setup.py magic to detect the prerequisites, I
think adding wrappers around existing libraries is a good thing to do.
As a result, different PyXML installation would offer different
parsers, but they do so, anyway, and there is (or should be) enough
framework to deal with installation variations.
