My 2 cents: I am not sure I clear understand the need for the libxml3.
I already said that I would like to have more consistent API but for me
it is not enough to create a new version. However, I may be wrong and
I miss something important. I think that the first step should be preparing
a written down proposal that will give more details on the libxml3 
goals, new features
and the changes from libxml2 in general.
