It appearantly doesn't pass the 4Suite regression test for that
module, based on reports from others.  I'm starting to think that
xml.xpath should be re-enabled by default since it appearantly mostly
works, and only omit xml.xslt package, since that supposedly is quite
broken.

I don't expect to have time to look into any specific failures there
before the release, unfortunately.  I'm desparately trying to get the
documentation (there's a fair bit to do there still) for minidom
up-to-date, and then I'll check in that and the implementation and
tests for the cloneNode()/importNode() handling discussed on the list
yesterday.
