You can't know. The current std.xml _will_ be replaced. It is considered to be 
of unacceptably low quality. xmlp is the likely candidate to replace it, but 
it must be completed and go through Phobos' review process before it can be 
added to Phobos. And even if it does pass that review, it's likely to undergo 
a number of changes in the process. It's not possible to use any xml module at 
this point with the idea that it will be definitively adopted as D's standard 
xml module without breaking your code. The current std.xml is going to be 
removed, but what exactly is going to replace it is not yet known.
