  Having joined the ranks of DOM implementors myself, I can only wish
I missed it.  ;-(
  Is the libxml API really that hard to work with, or does it have
implementation limitations that cause it not to work with deeply
nested documents?  I keep meaning to look at it more, but just haven't
had the time.  Is there any reason the GNOME people are writing their
own XML parser instead of using Expat?
  Thanks!
