Thats why legacy support is important :) But again, if you do want to 
improve it, let us all meet with Bart and his crew (or the opposite way 
around ;) and Frederik to get this wagon rolling.

I think we could create something that is significantly better for the

Hence see: change implementation ;)

But from my practice where I allow xapi request over The Netherlands XML 
is also a problem. Files of > 15MB are not fun to download. And worse: 
are definitely not fun to parse without something that actually has 
parsing performance.
