I couldn't agree more to your comments!

There's an Objective-C wrapper for the expat parser 
(http://expat.sourceforge.net/) called Expatobjc 
(http://expat.sourceforge.net/). I haven't used it, yet, but it's 
probably what you're looking for. An XML-like parser (EDMLParser) is 
included in the EDCommon framework (http://www.mulle-
kybernetik.com/software/ALX3000/edcommon.html) which I recently ported 
to GNUstep. The parser itself lacks certain features of XML (namespaces, 
schema, DTD) but worked for almost all XML projects I've come across so 
far (RSS, Jabber, etc.). It's configurable, easy to understand and 
natively written in Objective-C (no C-wrapper). Also, the license is BSD 
stylish, probably a plus.

Cheers,

  Marcus
