I did that indeed, but with an eye on the specific environment "LyX". 
The places where (XTL|stream_cast) has to be used are not the performance
critical parts of LyX nor have I seen the need for nesting so far.  So my
conclusion was (and is) that the pros of using XTL do not weigh more than
the cons (read: extra library, binary data).

I could certainly change my mind if XTL would be deployed in many more
places within LyX.
