OK, there seem to be a few folks saying that. If we include it in 2.4 then we're making libxml2 a dependency. That's of concern primarily to packagers, but it's a decision we should at least take consciously. That's why my initial proposal made it a separate module! Adding libxml2 could also open the way to bundling some other great modules, such as XSLT transformations. (note: it is now possible to use libxml2 as the the backend for APR's XML module, though expat remains the default there). -- Nick Kew
