I have some code I wrote late last year that I haven't committed to

skeletons of the implementation, but even so that's a little more
advanced than currently in mySTEP.
The latest state is that simple XML files (without DTD, Namespaces
and
Entities) are parsed. Code (pure OBJ-C version) is not yet in
http://www.quantum-step.com/download/sources/
but will be with the next release (in the next days).
But I have seen that the GNUstep implementation shall become a
wrapper
for libxml2 so my code can't be used anyway (since it does not relate
to libxml2).
There's no reason why there can't be two implementations available
in base ... we already have two versions of NSXMLParser ... one
using libxml2 which is fairly strict about getting valid XML, the
other writing in pure objective-c and tolerant of the invalid XML
produced by some of the Apple tools.
