Do you plan on making full bindings for libxml2? I'd be interested in packaging it as a Blackhole module when you are ready.
Right now I'm focusing on simple parsing, printing, and walking the tree. But I think that going into the other areas (e.g. xpath) and expanding the interface are very worthy goals. Having a fast, solid XML library for Gambit is a good thing, even if it's based in C.
Another thing that would be nice to have is pure Scheme versions of the libxml2 code, so that if you wanted not to deal with compiling libxml2 you can just use only Scheme code. Sort of a pluggable backend for the heavy lifting.
I haven't looked much at Black Hole but having support for it would probably be good.
Thanks for your interest.
