I would like remove the dependency of lxml. This would make Terry's
work much more easily accessible. Installing lxml is not nearly easy
enough.
Looking again at the code, I see only three uses of xpath. The first
is to find an element. The second ('..') is to find the parent of an
element. The third, in enable_filters, is a bit more complex.
I naively assume that transliterating the present script to
xml.ElementTree would be fairly straightforward. Imo, this work, even
if a bit more difficult than I imagine, would be well worthwhile.
Any comments, Terry, or others?
Edward
