Actually, if you're interested in XML, you should check out Jonathan
Davis' dxml module:

It doesn't handle DTDs due to design constraints, but if you can live
with that, it should work much better than std.xml.

(I'm hoping Jonathan pushes for this to be merged into Phobos, as it's
far superior to std.xml IMO. But that has yet to happen.)
