Thank you very much, Walter, for your reply. I hope I've done
it correctly. I may use this thread to post various questions
about what I find in the repo as I stagger through it. As I
consider how to approach this problem, here are some questions:
1) what is the recommended way to manipulate XML in D? Is there
a task force (to the extent that such things exist in open
source software) to address the shortcomings?
No "task force" someone needs to take on the task by themselves
or with willing participants. We just know the current std.xml is
not acceptable for the long term.
There is a xml library written by Michael who has shown interest
in having it included into Phobos. Though I can't say it is on
par with where we'd like std.xml to be.

2) I'm trying to get a sense of the tools repo on GitHub. Am I
correct in inferring that it consists of utilities to help the
makefiles in the other repos? Is this project going to blossom
into something else?
My understanding is that it is for extra things that support D.
But can not speak to its direction.
