I am for this option.
I believe that processing XML (as well as JSON etc.) is such a
universal task, that it is reasonable to be included in the
standard library. In the other case reinventing the wheel will
continue and bigger projects may end up having a few different
XML implementations in their dependency tree.
The other option could be to bring an existing library on
code.dlang.org to Phobos - reach to its author, adapt it to
Phobos' style and guidelines and make it the new std.xml. Has
such an option been considered?
