Wow. You sound like an ass.

In case you didn't notice, libxml is free open-source software. If you don't like its feature set, then:

1) Politely ask for someone to add the features you need.
2) Add the features yourself.
3) Start a new project from the ground up.
4) Find some other project that does what you want.
5) Go pound sand.

For you, I recommend #5.
