Fred Drake fbdeaad069 expunge the xmlcore changes:
41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

\chapter{Structured Markup Processing Tools
\label{markup}}
Python supports a variety of modules to work with various forms of
structured data markup. This includes modules to work with the
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML), and several interfaces for working with the
Extensible Markup Language (XML).
It is important to note that modules in the \module{xml} package
require that there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available.
Starting with Python 2.3, the Expat parser is included with Python, so
the \refmodule{xml.parsers.expat} module will always be available.
You may still want to be aware of the \ulink{PyXML add-on
package}{http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/}; that package provides an
extended set of XML libraries for Python.
The documentation for the \module{xml.dom} and \module{xml.sax}
packages are the definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX
interfaces.
