[sword-devel] We need XML parser

[Chris Little]

It is unlikely that Sword will ever include or use a full DOM parser 
like xerces or libxml.  However, we will (at least in the future, when 
dealing with OSIS) do a better job of treating XML data like XML, rather 
than looking at particular order.

In any case, it should not be crashing because it gets attributes in a 
different than expected order.
