I needed a SAX-like API, unicode (UTF-8 minimally), CDATA, and  
namespaces. That left me with cl-xml and cxml. I tried cl-xml first,  
very big and complex (and for some unknown reason I couldn't access  
the cl-xml website from work, but I could from home). Moved to cxml,  
and have been quite happy with it. Primarily working with it in  
Lispworks, it seems to work in SBCL as well but I haven't really  
exercised it there.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Bob
