Replacing std.xml

Hello everybody. I've been wondering, what are the current plans 
to replace std.xml? I'd like to help with the effort to get a 
final XML library in phobos. So, I have a few questions.

First, and most importantly, what do we except out of a D XML 
library? I'd really like to have a discussion of the form, "Here 
is exactly the interface the structs/classes need to implement, 
go forth and implement." The general idea in my mind is 
"something SAX-like, with something a little DOM-like." I'm aware 
that std.xml has some issues support different encodings, so 
obvious that's included.

Second, is there an existing library that has gotten close to 
meeting whatever we need for the first point? If so, how far away 
is it from being able to meet all of the requirements and become 
the standard library version?
