I don't think so.. other than that the output python's xml dom writes  
is fine.

yes.. I have ~10,000 RRD's with a bad RRA definition which is saving  
stuff for only 3 months. (instead of 2 years)
I am shoving the data from a backup RRD into the current one and  
recreating it.
the only way I know how to do this is via the XML output of both...
it seems to work ok, but it is slow.
my solution to this issue is just to skip the first 22 bytes of the  
XML that python generates.

Ian.
