I think this is worth filing a bug, but I'd like to understand better
where the call is made. I can't find any places in the standard xml
package that does this -- but I'm not all that familiar with the code.
Do you know if it's in the base xml package, or in etree, or in the
separately distributed "XMLplus"? Any details you have would be
appreciated (like a traceback from the point where the call is made).
