Summary: Docutils incompatible with PyXML

Initial Comment:
When PyXML is installed, docutils fails its test suite.  PyXML is likely at fault here as it is dead upstream
and likely contains bugs that have been fixed in the python stdlib.  Unfortunately, the python stdlib
replaces its own xml module with the PyXML module if that module is installed.  I'll attach a patch that
causes python to prefer the stdlib python xml code over the PyXML code.  Traceback follows (note: I've seen
this traceback on the mailing list before... we just didn't have a reproducer at that time):
