In the oldest version of nxml-mode-20041004/ I have lying around
(which is for Emacs 23.3), I have two hits:
  Binary file rng-uri.elc matches
  Binary file xsd-regexp.elc matches

That first one has "(string-to-sequence list)" in the .elc file where
the rng-uri.el file has "(string-to-list str)". The .elc file was
compiled by [email protected] on 2004-10-04
11:58:42 from file /home/jjc/elisp/rng-uri.el in Emacs version
21.3.1.

Seems to me a bad idea to copy byte-compiled code from 21.3 to 23.3
without re-compiling. But more than that, I'm wondering if 

 a) James' original code used string-to-sequence, and someone has
    updated the program w/o changing the version number / date stamp,
    or

 b) some versions of Emacs byte-compile string-to-list down to
    string-to-sequence, or

 c) there's some other explanation.
