  Okay I didn't go through that thread but just noticed this post. 
What the heck is going on ? My ego is not inflated yet enough to call
it "The XML C library", there is quite a few other C libraries !
It's desktop neutral, platform neutral as much as possible too, any
decent C89 compiler seems able to built it those days. Should I rename it ?
NO . The library was developped in the framework on the Gnome project 
even if Gnomers didn't actually had that much involvement, historically
libxml(2) is solidely rooted in the Gnome project. Revisionnism doesn't
sounds a good idea to me. And I really see not reason to change the name
as the portability is made very clear on the project page.
  People should IMHO go back to their bug list instead of wasting time
about names,
