There isn't much to trim from XMLStarlet itself, the bulk of the code
and run time is in libxml.

The feature requests tracker has some ideas that are worth pursuing, or
since you mentioned you were working on a framework maybe you have some
cool ideas of your own. If your lack of C experience gets in the way I
am willing to help with that.

Another thing that really needs to get done is updating the
documentation. Right now we don't even have the makefile rules to
generate it.
