Thanks, Daniel!

For the moment, let's assume those routines get exposed at some point (I don't 
have time to figure that out today, though), and I'll use a temporary file as 
a workaround.

xmlNewValidCtxt() and xmlValidateDtd() to be exposed, but quickly looking at 
libxml2:

I don't see anything that looks promising.  Are these exposed already, or 
would those need to be added as well?

I tried pointing Epydoc at the libxml2 Python module, and while it generated a 
pile of HTML, there's not a lot there for someone that's not already familiar 
with the library.  The material on xmlsoft.org gives the same feeling.  Are 
there any introductory materials for new users for the libxml2 and libxslt 
libraries?
