This is very revealing. The reason why XML parsing shouldn't be
implemented in FFmpeg isn't just because it is difficult but because:

* it is out of scope
* it is technical debt
* shitty parsing is the cause of the vast majority of CVEs

It speaks of an inability to make sane architectural decisions, of not
seperating concerns and of preferring cowboy coding over sane decisions
with respect to the entire free software ecosystem.

Are you implying that API and ABI stability are not important?
