I had these issues with the parser in RSSKit, too, when trying to port
it to Cocoa. I ended up with a very simple DOM implementation that's
based on NSXMLParser instead of libxml2 (as in the GSXML classes),
which is mostly compatible to the GSXML API. It's definitely not a
complete implementation, though.

However, using GSXML for XML parsing is quite safe, because you
can just add those small DOM classes and adjust some class names
in you code to rely on NSXMLParser instead of GSXML.

You can find those classes in RSSKit in the Etoile SVN.
