I personally would like to keep support for libxml 2.5, just because we know 
it works correctly and stable with the xml extensions and I for one have had 
little time to extensively test the xml extensions against 2.6.x. Other than 
that, I have no other reasons for supporting 2.5

However, I believe the namespace support for SAX wasn't introduced or at least 
wasn't fixed up until 2.6 so the issue may not be able to be fixed without 
requiring 2.6

That being said, if everyone really wants to require 2.6 I would be fine with 
it, but we may possibly be introducing new problems and will not be able to 
fall back to 2.5. From what I have heard from people running 2.6.x have 
reported, there have been no problems so far, but not sure how heavily they 
tested everything.
