I have changed to use super (I was too lazy at the time to verify that the base class was new-style; in the LP code base, I suppose I should have assumed yes).
In regards to the XXX, I want to do this in a separate branch, since this one was so gigantic. It also is a bug outside of the code I added in this branch, which I'm using to further rationalize the decision. :-) I created bug 711362 and will be beginning a branch for it (with tests as Graham suggested and a delete method as Gavin suggested) within the hour.
Thank you for the reviews!
