+	  functions go from using `kwargs` to explicity named argumnets.

+
+	* [2c50b12] pskc/xml.py, tox.ini: No longer use defusedxml with lxml
+
+	  The lxml parser uses libxml2 which guards against the
+	  vulnerabilities defusedxml protects against when using libxml2
+	  2.6 (released 2008) or newer. The lxml support in defusedxml
+	  has been deprecated since release 0.6.0 and is planned to be
+	  removed in 0.8.0.

+
+	  This is needed because the cryptography library has dropped
