Indeed. My original question is specfic to XML document 
generation in D code, not necessarily reading (although any 
half-decent DOM library needs to be able to read files as well as 
write them). I'm not very familiar with SAX, but Wikipedia says 
that it's not standardised and so, if I understand correctly, 
there would be varying implementations of it.

I think that this is a better approach to take. Surely Windows 
has an XML library and that would have to be done is write a 
single header file that would link to the XML library on the 
operating system? I know, probably far more difficult to 
implement than it sounds...
