PyXML is specifically maintaining compatibility, which means I have to
work around the lack of weakrefs when removing reference cycles.  The
differences between the Python standard library and PyXML, for modules
present in both, is mostly trivial still, but the differences are
growing.  ;-(

(It's enough to make me think that Andrew may have been right about
not integrating the XML support the way we did.)
