   And the resulting DS is not libxml specific? You really think we
should be library specific. And why adapt the DOM style of XML, why
not SAX? Just because libxml goes that way?

  This was the solution adopted by Gstreamer core developers, so I'll
suggest you ask them how well it worked for them before suggesting it
for gobject.

  I really appreicate your comments. I was also hoping to see any
comments/verdicts from the gobject developers as well.
