  They already do:
   OpenVMS: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2001-November/msg00092.html
   Windows: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2001-November/msg00093.html
   AIX:     http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2001-November/msg00101.html
   I was too lazy to dig to find the MVS and MPE report, and except for
AIX (and that kindof insane Windows port) I doubt any of those platform
ever saw a Gnome UI ever.

  More seriously, libxml2/libxslt is used in very different contexts than
the Gnome framework, the library sits at a crossroads and I try to make
everybody happy, this mean I may have different release issues and
requirements than say libbonobo-ui. That said, I will take extreme care to
not break the framework and will follow the release rules, hoping
that no conflict will get raised.
