Is that really the answer?

Read the source code to xml.dom.*, and write hacks based on what I find 
there?  Note also that xml.dom.expatbuilder does not appear to be an 
external API--there is no mention of it in the documentation for 
xml.dom.*.

The answer is, as best I can tell, "You can't do that."
