I think the problem here is that xml:document relies on the
xlink-infrastructure.
xlink is currently not supported by chicken as it lacks the
ssax:multi-parser.
I recently ran in this issue too. I don't know if the maintainer of the
sxml-tools
and ssax has this on his/her todo-list. If not, it may be a good idea to
mail about
it or even start porting the code to chicken and package it up.?
