Someone volunteered to work on the Xerces wrapper, but gave up.
Nobody else has stepped forward to complete the work, and I'm only=20
working on the Tcl parser.  Ajuba Solutions did have a working
TclXerces, so you might like to look at that (it's in the SourceForge
repository).

An alternative is to write a wrapper for the Gnome libxml parser.
This is a validating XML parser written in C, with an interface
very similar to expat (for which there is already a Tcl wrapper).
Peter Farmer (Pet...@zv...) is working on the expat wrapper,
so it might be a good idea to discuss that option with him.

HTHs,
Steve Ball
