Thanks.

It seems like a lot of XML-parsing code. Why did you decided to parse
the oval XML yourself compared to letting libxml (or other library) to
do the low level job? (I am not questioning the decision, just
wondering, it may turn either good or wrong in the long term).

I should also highlight a difference between OpenSCAP and SCAP. SCAP is
the opened standard at NIST. While OpenSCAP is Fedora hosted project to
implement this standard. Thus, I believe you are in attempt to implement
parsing of SCAP component standard -- the OVAL, but not the OpenSCAP. :)
