[Qgis-developer] QtXml is no longer maintained in Qt5

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi all,

I'm happy to inform you that Phil (main PyQt maintainer) just announced
that QtXml is going to be reincluded in the PyQt5 bindings.
You may therefore happily continue to use QDomDocument and friends as
much as you like and ignore my original request.

Sorry for the noise
Matthias
