That too, though if you are limited to python2.3, chances are you
don't have easy_install pre-installed. :)

Just for the sake of consistency, I would make it STX+"amp"+ETX.  And
I would call it AMPERSAND_SUBSTITUTE or AMP_SUBSTITUTE, since
AND_SUBSTITUTE can mean too many things.

Also, can you add more comments to the code?  (I mean especially the
parts that you changed, though you are welcome to comment old code as
well.)

Also, we had that discussion of recursion before.  I am in principle
all for getting rid of recursion as Waylan was suggesting, but I think
considering the time constraints, perhaps it would be more practical
to cap recursion by simply breaking the input into chunks.  This needs
to be done with a little bit of thought so that we don't break lists,
etc. into multiple chunks.  However, I think it will be much easier
than trying to rewrite the current _processSection logic and it should
get us the same benefits in terms of performance.
