I have two comments.

What is the plan for the string interner and the allocator-based 
appender ?

They are neither part of the package, nor proposed in phobos, it 
seems that you'll encounter a problme in the package structure 
itself. This is also problemtaic now if I want to test it I have 
to add 3 import paths to sc.conf.

I suggest you either to propose them for phobos or to add them in 
a subpackage "internal" **inside xml** (or in a big internal.d 
module) like it's done for several phobos packages (algos, 
ndslices).

I see a naming problem in you "fast" strings: fastIndexOf, 
fastEqual etc.

This is not good: does it mean that phobos's equivalent are slow 
? Does it mean that you'll also propose slow equivalents (This is 
absurd, but it shows the problem).
