I think we should keep the old domxml extension util the new one is stable
enough. Then i agree to the naming change and i thing the extension should
use a namespace (the same as the extension name) to prevent name conflicts
with classes that might already exist in userland.

Since namespaces are new to PHP5/ZE2 and noone could use such already i
guess it is a good thing to have every oo extension doing so. If one doesn't
like namespaces he could easily do "import" and that's it.

For the new name of the extension: what about w3xml? To reflect it implements
most important xml related w3 standards?
