I looked at doing that with the SAX interfaces in libxml2 but didn't get 
very far as those are a long ways from the expat API.  I would like to 
retain the ability to build against expat as that library is a lot smaller 
and more targeted than libxml2.

If anyone has the interest, it shouldn't be a huge job.  I do caution that 
fontconfig tends to extend the configuration language on a regular basis, 
hence any changes which would entail duplicate maintenance would be less 
desirable.
