I believe Michael put it "Ready for comments" as he is interested 
in getting feedback to his work, not really ready for review. I 
don't see Michael around the forums here much/at all, but have 
contacted him via email on a number of occasions.

I don't believe the library is ready for review:

1. Documentation, very minimal and not on par with the standards 
displayed in Phobos

2. There are a number of ways to parse XML and the method I've 
been using has been getting heavily modified almost every time I 
bring up an issue/request clarification.

So I highly suggest those interested in a D XML parser to try it 
out and send feedback, or request that he pester more people to 
critique it.

I don't really know what I want (how it should fit into the D2 
style). I pretty much just want to read some XML and be done with 
it (actually I don't really want to do that either). As I've been 
using this for some time I'm not in as much of a hurry as others 
to get it into Phobos.
