... what shows you haven't looked at kdom/khtml2/ksvg2 closely yet :-)
The HTML tokenizing is nowhere dependent on KDOM's parsing backends,
that's all done by HTMLParser & HTMLTokenizer itself. We're talking about pure
XML processing tasks here...

And in fact, kdelibs requires libxml2 anyway - so where's your point?
