Sure, PyRXP is the bees knees. 

But... it's not as widely distributed as libxml2, which is pretty much
on every Red Hat and GNOME box around. So there are pros and cons on
both sides; libxml2 also does more than PyRXP, is just as fast, and
when you throw in libxslt and it's Py bindings, Webware ought to think
about using it anyway.

But, ideally, DAV request parsing code should work with any SAX2
compliant parser.

Best,
