You don't need to add a PHP dependency to do XML. I looked at this all awhile back. And there is actually a very nice PHP XPATH project. It works on PHP 4 & 5, and has no extra library dependencies. So it could simply be included in MediaWiki and used to read out data from XML files. http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxpath/
I still don't see the point in bothering with XML when PHP is easier all around, unless someone foresees someone using another language. But it really doesn't matter much. Whoever implements it gets to decide.
