I don't think it makes a huge difference. As long as 1.4 is not to be released 
soon it would be better to port it to 1.3. This way people can use it. But 
honestly I think you develop it against zinc and xml parser. Zinc has been 
updated in 1.3 lately but I don't know if it is the newest stuff. Sven knows 
it.
