The current state of the XML reader in Jmol is probably mostly
due to me at the moment - I edited it quite heavily about a
year ago (see commit 4250) in order to allow Jmol to retrieve
information from CML embedded in the JS DOM tree of Jmol's parent
XHTML document. A brief look at current SVN suggests not much has
changed since.

Which is to say -
a) if any refactoring help is necessary, do feel free to grab me.

b) Some of the code in there is necessary specifically
for reading CML from the JS DOM tree, which may explain some
of the (apparently) odder design choices. In any case, since the
Jmol testsuite currently only knows how to deal with normal
file/string input, the CML-from-JS-DOM functionality isn't
covered by the testsuite - so please don't break it! I'm more
than happy to provide testcases for anyone working on it.
