If I cite a bunch of apps using expat, then expat will
stay?
I don't want to convert this thread in flames, but the
only "improvement" that I see changing from expat to
libxml is that a normal user will have in his system
libxml and not expat, so changing from expat to libxml
gives the user a few additional kb's...
I don't see that like a big improvement, but if you
have a working patch, I will take a look with
pleasure.
P.S.: In your next message you say that you have a
working patch with libxml 2.0, that nobody (nearly)
have in his system, and that nobody (nor gnumeric, nor
dia) uses. So if a working patch implies libxml 2.0,
I think that the best choose will be to wait a bit
(libxml 2.0 will not be widely used until gnome 2.0).
What do you think?
