With the explicit statement that this is not the case when Apple's
implementation sucks. Many believe NSXMLParse is kinda not so
great...and I have to at least agree that whoever thought it out wasnt
thinking straight...This is the kind of wrapper that should go into my
PortabilityKit. PortabilityKit does not make assumptions about good/bad
API designs, it just implements missing classes between GNUstep and Cocoa,
and it doesnt discriminate. If someone wants to write a wrapper for it,
i'd be glad to integrate it.

This is what PortabilityKit is for. The objective is to get people to
contribute wrappers or implementations of classes and methods which Apple
has introduced but are not in GNUstep proper. This should alleviate some
political problems. PortabilityKit will be released under the LGPL.

Agreed

Sounds good, but an XML parser is a lot of overhead.
