The documentation says:
"Warning: This module is considered out-dated and not up to
Phobos' current standards. It will remain until we have a
suitable replacement, but be aware that it will not remain
long term."
My advice is not to use it. I used it a while back, but it
slowed down my system (why I still don't know), and it is
permanently soon-to-be deprecated.
If you wanna use D for XML parsing, see if you can find a
solid 3rd party library in D (have a look at Adam's github
page: https://github.com/adamdruppe/, he has some DOM and
HTML stuff up there).
There is a new xml module in the review queue, but nobody
seems to care. I _think_ the reason why nobody really cares
is that most people in the D community don't like XML.
I added XML to the GSOC idea's page (see Phobos section), but
it still needs a mentor. Are you busy this summer?

Just for the record, I hate XML too, but it is VERY widely
used, so good XML support is essential ... like it or not!
You're right of course. It is widely (and wildly) used. I for my
part have changed my input files from XML to a simpler custom
format.
PS I am busy this summer. But maybe Adam's dom.d can be used as a
basis for a new module, unlike std.xml2 it's not abandoned.
