Actually, I'd expect large files over XML-RPC to be handled by sending a URL, and have the client GET the file separately.

Unless you can make the server a simple front-end to a pile-o-files on disk, I don't see any benefit. There's no issue for the client, only the server, since they want to limit the number of machines they stick behind the load-balancer. Ok, I think we've agreed this isn't an Expat issue, but a bug in RedHat code that's unrelated to using XML in Zope. The Expat-based minidom-builder in recent versions of Python is pretty well tested in practice. -Fred -- Fred L.
