It might be worth noting here that SAX and DOM have not been

would be really easy in D.
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.
Although it might be nice to have D implementations, perhaps D
might
follow Python and wrap a rather good system so as to get
something with
full validation and XPath sooner rather than later?
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...
