 This proposes an XML Tag Processor and XML Processor to complement the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57575 HTML Tag processor] and the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58517 HTML Processor].

 The explorations have started in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/6713.

 The XML API implements a subset of the [https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ XML 1.0
 specification] and supports documents with the following characteristics:

 * XML 1.0
 * Well-formed
 * UTF-8 encoded
 * Not standalone (so can use external entities)
 * No DTD, DOCTYPE, ATTLIST, ENTITY, or conditional sections

 The API and ideas closely follow the HTML API implementation. The parser
 is streaming in nature, has a minimal memory footprint, and leaves
 unmodified markup as it was originally found.

 This description is mostly a placeholder for now to reference in GitHub
 and source code. It will be fleshed out more in the future.
