Severity: wishlist

http://www.xdmf.org reports that v3 is now available and v2 is being
deprecated.

v3 offers a number of attractive advantages including the use of smart
pointers, parallelisation support and a "modern" API,
http://xdmf.org/index.php/Xdmf::New%28%29

The APIs seem to be quite different e.g. in v2
  dom = XdmfDOM()
  dom.Parse("Points.xmf")
but in v3
  reader = XdmfReader.New()
  domain = reader.read("Points.xmf")

I guess we should provide both as alternative packages, e.g.
python-xdmf2 alongside python-xdmf (3, or python-xdmf3) 
(sadly they would have to conflict, since the python module name is
the same "Xdmf")
