well, it *could* being changed recently, but that indeed was a plan.
I personally do not have any problem with libxml2.
I know some people do not like itslicense, but as for me, it's ok too.

If this would add value to Konqueror - than yes.
But again: 
AFAIK, Apple decided to use expat for XML processing in Safari.
I hope we can cooperate with Apple here as well.
May be, Safari developers can give a hint why libxml2 was not ok for them.
