I think it would be better to *remove* the xmllib documentation.
Existing code which needs the module will continue to work even
without documentation, and new code is unlikely to be written for
a module that has no documentation, and where importing the module
gives a DeprecationWarning.

That sounds like a fair and democratic way of solving the issue.
