Angus,
We have discussed this for many hours in the past and the current issue
is this:
a) I will not accept dependencies on opneais on third party projects
(libxml2)
and
b) Fabbione doesn't want to maintain a minimalistic XML parser.
So until a maintainer for a minimialistic XML parser steps forward we
likely wont have what you desire. I personally think an XML interface
is a wonderful idea and would merge such a feature.
Regards
