The explanation is that everything that comes after "import" is

I think a reasonable answer is that you should be able
to refer to it simply as 'mymodule'.
I don't think that's reasonable:
import xml.dom
doesn't give you dom, but xml.
So
import .dom
shouldn't give you dom, but . (which is nonsensical, of course).
I don't think it would be "import .dom", but...
from . import dom
It would be another module in xml doing the importing, so xml will have
already been imported.
