When I first started using D, one of the things I needed quite early on
was a way of writing and reading XML. Naturally, when I saw std.xml in
Phobos, I was quite pleased.
That was of course, until I started to use it.

I vented my frustation on IRC, where opticron mentioned he had an XML
library of his own. I find it superior to std.xml, especially
considering how it actually works, and is maintained.

It is already under the Boost License, and opticron has said
"<opticron> ... if they really want to snag mine and clean it up for use
in phobos, that's fine
<opticron> I'd even relicense the code if I have to"
I'm going to keep on using kxml regardless, but I thought it would be
nice if Phobos had a working XML library. What say you?
