  no idea, I don't know MS XML api nor the semantic of the code you pasted.
mayeb someone else does.

  You will need all the schemas/regexp start plus parser at least. 
Unless you're really doing embedded systems I don't suggest to change the
default because you're just :
   1/ entering MS compilation mess, for which only a few people
      really answer on that list
   2/ generate your own version of the package which can lead to 
      different behaviour, and unless you're on embedded systems
      it's very hard to control and fix once deployed.
