Module Contents
---------------

The `xml.dom' contains the following functions:

`registerDOMImplementation(name, factory)'
     Register the FACTORY function with the name NAME.  The factory
     function should return an object which implements the
     `DOMImplementation' interface.  The factory function can return
     the same object every time, or a new one for each call, as
     appropriate for the specific implementation (e.g. if that
     implementation supports some customization).

`getDOMImplementation(name = None, features = ())'
     Return a suitable DOM implementation. The NAME is either
     well-known, the module name of a DOM implementation, or `None'. If
     it is not `None', imports the corresponding module and returns a
     `DOMImplementation' object if the import succeeds.  If no name is
     given, and if the environment variable `PYTHON_DOM' is set, this
     variable is used to find the implementation.

     If name is not given, consider the available implementations to
     find one with the required feature set. If no implementation can
     be found, raise an `ImportError'. The features list must be a
     sequence of (feature, version) pairs which are passed to
     hasFeature.

In addition, `xml.dom' contains the `Node', and the DOM exceptions.
