I've seen the discussion and have no problem moving std.xml into my
project if it gets the axe until it gets a replacement. I've had enough
trouble debugging through it (though the worst problems were caused by
something else, just triggered by std.xml due to
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4298).

I would point out that std.xml is likely to get the axe pretty quickly here. The
consensus seems to be to get rid of it rather than leaving such a poor
implementation around for people to complain about (check out the thread
"std.xml should just go" on the D newsgroup). So, at minimum, it's going to be
deprecated with the next release, and Andrei may even decide to remove it
entirely (he did ask whether we should "nuke it" and he hasn't made clear
whether that would involve an intermediate deprecated stage). Fortunately, that
thread seems to have spurned some discussion on actually, finally creating a
proper replacement, and it looks like Tomek Sowiński is working on one.
So, I don't know whether std.xml is even going to be in the next release, and it
is _not_ going to be high priority to fix any of it, even if it's left in as
deprecated. However, given that you have provided patches for those bugs, if
std.xml stays in as deprecated, it does seem reasonable that they would be
applied.
