About XPath and XSD, you already found the answer.

About automatic binding (JAXB like), I wasn't planning it, but 
the idea is that if we have a good, modular, extendable XML 
library, then we can build everything on top of it as separate 
projects. This is because one person cannot maintain all the 
possible extensions (XPath, XSD, JAXB, XQuery, ...) and because 
most of these should be provided by external packages, not by the 
standard library (otherwise the std XML library would end up 
being half the entire size of Phobos).

Thank you for your feedback.
