For a while we've espoused the strategy of keeping std.xml in Phobos

But recently we've started to rethink that.
Pretty much everyone who tries std.xml ends up disappointed. Anyone who
wants to bash D has std.xml as an easy pick. Anyone who looks at speed
comparisons sees std.xml there like a sore thumb. Finally, the mere
existence of a package, no matter how inadequate, stifles the initiative
of others working on it.
This all makes std.xml a net liability. It's not better than nothing;
it's worse than nothing.
Should we nuke it?
Good!
