There are further advantages to using libxml.
The programming model of expat is based on the SAX2 interface.  Libxml has 
both the SAX2 and a pull-parser interface, which is generally easier to use 
from an application point of view.  Libxml2 is generaly faster than expat.  It 
also has better support for all the different XML features such as entities 
etc.  I also believe it's more actively maintained and developed.
