Re: xml dom (minidom) and python UPDATE

Have you tried simplified code on a simplified XML file, playing with
it in the shell to get a feel for what you can and can't do? And
built up from there.

I'm sorry that I can't be more direct. I always reach for lxml and
its elementTree emulation when I have XML to parse.
