  Note that Ville Skyttä is pushing gdome2 to target xsh. In my opionion
xsh and xmlstartlet are competing, both are wrappers around libxml2 to
provide XML oriented scripting. I honnestly don't know which one might
be better or more complete.
  xmlstarlet seems to be somewhat actively developped last release was
2005-03-15 and there was another one in January. However in Sep 2004
Mikhail S Grushinskiy the author wanted to donate the code of xmlstar
to the libxml2/libxslt projects.

  Mikhail we are looking at integrating xmlstarlet in Fedora Core Extra
but we have a couple of technical difficulties,

  your opinion would be welcome :-)
