It sounds good if you can do it, but I do suggest that we try to reuse
as much of libxml as possible. XML parsers seem to be more complicated
then people think - I would prefer to let Daniel worry about
implementing the correct behaviour. I certainly think it's too early to
do optimisation if it doesn't add functionality.
