Switching to XmlLite on the Windows platform has been one of those changes that I had in mind for the Win32 part in APR 2.0. Doing so reduces the amount of dependencies required for building and using APR, which I believe to be a good thing in this particular case. And it also means that by default we would be relying on the native component of the OS rather than on a 3rd-party library. Please let me know if there would be any objections against this change. -- Ivan Zhakov
