I hope it will support html and xpath too.

The low-level parser is explicitly written to support any format
which resembles XML, and will have no problem handling HTML.
Regarding higher level APIs: with validations turned on, HTML
would surely be rejected (it breaks many XML well-formedness
constraints); with validations turned off, it may or may not
work, because higher level APIs implicitly assume that their
input is well-formed.
As for XPath, I probably won't have time to work on it during
GSoC, but if everything goes well I may work on it after the end
of the project.
