This is a good point regarding the weight.  Some of them are not full dom 
parsers however, but more lightweight things, that's what I'd prefer to see 
used since that's all we'd need.

This is a good point.  However, some of them are being ported to more and 
more platforms...  Remember the simpler it is the easier it is to port.

Anyway, as always, my blabber is just a suggestion... which may or may not 
be followed for various reasons of course... ;o)
