I'm interested. I've been thinking of porting some of my stuff from D1/Tango 
to D2/Phobos (*not* because of political reasons or anything against Tango 
or any Tango team member), so anything that I'm using from Tango that 
doesn't have a good Phobos equivilent would be a roadblock. XML (reading) is 
one of those things.
