contrib/xml2 is a lot better than /xml. When I submitted the new code,
Bruce felt that /xml should be kept for compatibility in case there
were people using it (the API changed completely). Personally, I'd be very 
happy for /xml to go - it's not nearly as good as /xml2 (/xml2 has some
serious production users as far as I can tell- anyone who's ever asked me
about building /xml has been pointed to /xml2).

There's no maintenance effort for /xml, but I'm still working on /xml2.

Hope that clears things up a bit!
