Given that there's a disparity in terms of exports among the various
distributions for different Scheme platforms, I think it might be wise
to choose a particular distribution and then re-port it to the
requisite interpreters. The distribution I'm most familiar with is
the one in guile-lib (http://home.gna.org/guile-lib/), but,
unfortunately, it's a bit messy under the hood, since it includes, I
think (could be wrong), an old stable release of SSAX coupled with
some upstream work, so I don't know if it makes the easiest base for
doing a port. Does anyone have any experience with any of the other
ones, like PLT's?
The SSAX functionality that's most important to me is:
* ssax:xml->sxml (obviously)
* The ssax:make-parser syntax, for customizing parser behavior
* The utility functions used by the default parser, such as
ssax:skip-internal-dtd, ssax:read-pi-body-as-string, etc., since these
make customizing the parser much, much easier.
Thoughts?

Scheme traditionally spends a lot of effort getting
right very general, widely applicable numerical data;
XML data and the protocols associated with it deserve
just about as much attention, and for similar reasons
(in my opinion).

I'd love to see SXML/SSAX as a snow package. Being new to scheme, it
tooked me a lot of time to figure out how to install it for SCSH and
