Howdy, Hendrik-Jan:
The fact that few global words wind up getting set by the XML
parser is actually probably a bug. What you generally do is:
result: parse-xml read %file.xml
The result will be a nested block representing the parsed tree of
the XML document. You navigate the tree using REBOL's block accesor
functions, or recursive functions that you make.
The parser is not validating, does not follow external references,
and it does not do any entity replacement. But, with those caveats,
if you have a stand alone xml document which doesn't get too fancy,
the parser does fine. Expanded support for XML is on the development
slate at REBOL Technologies for future versions of REBOL/command.
