expunge the xmlcore changes:

  41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

+"""Facility to use the Expat parser to load a minidom instance

+This avoids all the overhead of SAX and pulldom to gain performance.
+"""
+
+# Warning!
+#
+# This module is tightly bound to the implementation details of the
+# minidom DOM and can't be used with other DOM implementations.  This
+# is due, in part, to a lack of appropriate methods in the DOM (there is
+# no way to create Entity and Notation nodes via the DOM Level 2
+# interface), and for performance.  The later is the cause of some fairly
+# cryptic code.
+#
+# Performance hacks:
+#
+#   -  .character_data_handler() has an extra case in which continuing
+#      data is appended to an existing Text node; this can be a
+#      speedup since pyexpat can break up character data into multiple
+#      callbacks even though we set the buffer_text attribute on the
+#      parser.  This also gives us the advantage that we don't need a
+#      separate normalization pass.
+#
+#   -  Determining that a node exists is done using an identity comparison
+#      with None rather than a truth test; this avoids searching for and
+#      calling any methods on the node object if it exists.  (A rather
+#      nice speedup is achieved this way as well!)

+# The <b>Element</b> type is a flexible container object, designed to

+# described as a cross between a list and a dictionary.
+# <p>
+# Each element has a number of properties associated with it:
+# <ul>
+# <li>a <i>tag</i>. This is a string identifying what kind of data
+# this element represents (the element type, in other words).</li>
+# <li>a number of <i>attributes</i>, stored in a Python dictionary.</li>
+# <li>a <i>text</i> string.</li>
+# <li>an optional <i>tail</i> string.</li>
+# <li>a number of <i>child elements</i>, stored in a Python sequence</li>
+# </ul>
+#
+# To create an element instance, use the {@link #Element} or {@link
+# #SubElement} factory functions.
+# <p>
+# The {@link #ElementTree} class can be used to wrap an element
+# structure, and convert it from and to XML.
