Well, it may not be codified anywhere, but that seems to be how it is. I 
think there are better alteernatives to GSXML and libxml2, namely Marcel's 
excellent MPWXmlKit. It has a dependency on MPWFoundation, but I am 
willing to bet that that could be fixed with very little effort. I doubt 
it uses very little of the actual classes in MPWFoundation. Marcel, care 
to comment?
