Actually, I'm a big fan of libxml, I'd be interested in hearing what makes Kiss XML better for SVG. When I forked from the original author he had already ported it to use libxml, so that was fine with me. I agree, the world needs an open source SVG library that adheres closely to the full spec. Up until now, it seems the things out there like Cairo, etc are focused on being a graphics library for drawing and exporting to SVG, not really an SVG library.

This will hopefully take some of the burden of parsing/writing off of SVGKit. My overall goal is to make this adhere as closely to the w3.org DOM implementation.
