I feel the same. Writing a new parser from scratch means introducing a lot of 
new security bugs, parsing errors and maybe bigger performance lost at the 
beginning. Speaking from the SVG side, we fail at least three tests on the W3C 
SVG Test Suite because of parsing bugs if libxml2 on MacOS. All of these bugs 
are fixed in later versions of libxml2. Updating libxml2 more often on MacOS 
would help a lot.

With the new parser we won't loose support XSLT and XLink support?
