Of course.  According to my overinflated ego, XML is just a complete
pain to parse, to handle and generate. Unfortunately, it *is* becoming
a standard, if we like it or not, and having no support for it raise
the barrier for using GUILE (imo). For example people just keep asking
me about XML file formats and MusicXML support for Lilypond.  Having
an XML lib in GUILE would make addressing this issue easier. 

BTW, I did read that there were bindings for expat. I don't know which
of the systems (expat and libxml) makes most sense to use, though. You
try to find out whether the old bindings still work with recent GUILE
releases.
