  Agreed.  pyexpat just creates new module objects and fills them in
for things like error codes.

  Yep.  The existing modules could import * from those new objects so
that backward compatibility is retained.
  The advantage of the current approach, however, is that we don't end
up with a bunch of initialization code that ends up sticking around as
part of the process.  Not a real problem for Unix or Windows, but it
might be on embedded platforms like the Palm.
