The use of 'string' in xml/ likely stems from the original PyXML code
aiming to run with 1.5.2.  Adding string methods will cause divergence
from the PyXML code base for no good reason; I'd suggest leaving it
alone.  String methods will appear as the PyXML code begins to use
them.  

As for Distutils, I again don't see the need to use string methods
everywhere.  (Though admittedly I have no plans to issue a standalone
release again, and presumably neither does Greg.)
