IIUC the major obstacle to XML support is proper unicode support. Don't we need a unicode library first?
I don't agree with this. We need Unicode for handling XML documents, yes, but there we don't need a Unicode library first and an XML library second: we could accept a solid XML library (which is mainly about navigation and manipulation of the XML tree) and drop a Unicode string into it later on. Stefan is even proposing to parameterize over the string type, so it becomes a non-issue.
