I have used expat to parse my xml. To get more managable code I only use expat 
to fill a queue with the tags found: Start(tag,attr list) and End(tag,text). 
Then I make a stream of the function which reads that queue and can use 
ocaml's streamparsers to parse my xml and build my data structures quite 
easy. It's short, fast and easy changeable. The streamparses can watch only 
for the relevant tags to get the desired information and build the result.
