Awesome. Just tried it now as below and it works. Thanks for this 
library

import std.stdio;

import dxml.dom;

struct Record
{
     string name;
     string email;
}


Record[] parseRecords(string xml)
{
     Record[] records;
     auto d = parseDOM!simpleXML(xml);
     auto root = d.children[0];

     foreach(record; root.children)
     {
         auto rec = Record();
         foreach(ele; record.children)
         {
             if (ele.name == "name")
                 rec.name = ele.children[0].text;
             if (ele.name == "email")
                 rec.email = ele.children[0].text;
         }
         records ~= rec;
     }

     return records;
}

void main()
{
     auto xml = "<root>\n" ~
         "    <record>\n" ~
         "        <name>N1</name>\n" ~
         "        <email>E1</email>\n" ~
         "    </record>\n" ~
         "    <record>\n" ~
         "        <name>N2</name>\n" ~
         "        <email>E2</email>\n" ~
         "    </record>\n" ~
         "    <record>\n" ~
         "        <email>E3</email>\n" ~
         "        <name>N3</name>\n" ~
         "    </record>\n" ~
         "<!--no comment -->\n" ~
         "</root>";
     auto records = parseRecords(xml);
     writeln(records);
