- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

urlsplit() and urlunsplit(), that do the simpler job of splitting the URL
without monkeying around with the parameters field, since that was not being
handled properly.
This closes bug #478038.

Cleaned up some markup nits.
Add a few more of the Tk-related modules to the list of modules.

Fred, please proofread!

find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them
into SystemError.  The latter is definitely not the right thing to do,
so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to
simply propagate up if they occur.

[1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.

load_inst(): Implement the security hook that cPickle already had.
When unpickling callables which are not classes, we look to see if the
object has an attribute __safe_for_unpickling__.  If this exists and
has a true value, then we can call it to create the unpickled object.
Otherwise we raise an UnpicklingError.

find_class(): We no longer mask ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError by transforming them into SystemError.  The latter is
definitely not the right thing to do, so we let the former three
exceptions simply propagate up if they occur, i.e. we remove the

This is his patch, plus a start at some test cases from me.  Will check
in more, plus a NEWS blurb, later tonight.
