The main reason was that I had problems to get libxml working.

When you look at the libxml parser you have many toString() calls, which do UTF-8 decoding. This isn't necessary with expat, because it can return UTF-16 strings directly.

I din't had the time to do performance tests, but expat is usually a little faster than libxml.

Then you won't accecpt a MSXML implementation too? (will save memory when using the windows system library)
What do you think about a "native WebKit XMLParser" with no 3rdparty dependency?
