Stefan,
Thank you. The reason that I am using xml.dom.minidom is that I am
restricted to a stock RHEL5 stack. That means 2.4 with nothing added.
(Welcome to US Army IT !!!)

and ':'. Ultimately splitting a line on any char in a union of
string.whitespace and som
The documentation I am referencing states...
The sep argument may consist of multiple characters (for example, "'1,
2, 3'.split(', ')" returns "['1', '2', '3']").
