Actually one of the reasons I really like the old version of expat is  
that it's small and simple, it doesn't try to do too much.  Expat 2.0  
is twice as many lines of code!  Does it actually provide us with any  
new features that we need?

Of course, that's nothing compared to libxml2, which is more than 10x  
the number of lines of code!  Holy cow, we could have more lines of  
code to parse XML than the rest of Audacity combined!

Okay, expat 2.0 isn't looking that bad anymore!
