Just a question whether XPath will be part of the project? It would help a lot to scrape HTML documents.

In Python is pretty easy with lxml:

It is not on the main todo list, but I find it really useful too. When and if the main goals will be reached I will focus on extending the library, starting from either XPath or XSD.

Whether or not these extensions will be part of Phobos is another issue: the core library by itself will end up being pretty big, and I don't know if everybody is fine with such a big piece of code.
