You might check over in web/db land at ars digita's site (arsdigita.com).  There are a couple of parsing options available.  There's nothing glued into the toolkit itself at the moment.

This is an area that will want attention, obviously.

What are your specific needs?

WWW.ZVENO.COM makes an open source Tcl XML parser and generator package. ACS 4 uses it in the package manager to parse config
files. It lets you make a DOM tree model as well as  use an event driven
parser model, I believe.

There's some weird bug about how using tcl code which is its
own namespace has to be loaded into each thread separately in
AOLserver, I don't understand the issue, but you can look
at the source for the ACS 4 package manager and see what they are doing.

There's also some Java libraries which you could use if you
can figure out how to run Java from AOLserver.
