mySTEP already comes with a NSXML* implementation. It uses NSXMLParser
as the real parser and creates NSXMLNodes for all tags and content
found. But it is incomplete beyond basic XML. Mainly missing are DTD,
namespaces, and XML writing.

But it may be already sufficient. Or you may be interested in
contributing to the missing parts.
