In general, it is in the interest of the Python community (and of course, my personal interest!) to emphasize Python's XML sophistication. From a marketing point of view, the new XML support could be pushed as sufficient reason for a major version release all by itself. For instance, Even the Guido is impressed when he reads vacuous XML-related press releases from the TCL guys.[1] :) :) Python 2 could be the first language with support for SAX and DOM in the class libraries (though Java is catching fast) and the first to ship Expat as a standard module (on some platforms, anyhow). If the feature freeze "melts", we could probably add SOAP support in a month or so also.
