I wonder why no-one has tried using DStep to create a D binding for
libxml2 and libxslt.

Whilst Python has a SAX and DOM parsing capability, well three
different ones in the standard library, anyone doing serious XML work
in Python uses lxml which is just a Python binding to libxml2 and
libxslt.

If Python people have given up on the XML stuff in it's standard
library and use a binding to a well known and distributed one, is this
a good path for D?
