Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form

New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
...
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)
This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.

Simple documentation of the copy_reg module.

Guido, you should probably look at this. The pickle documentation is out of

Consistency: Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.
Consistency: Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.
Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
