For which I always recommend xmlpp,

Is this better in some aspect than xmllint --format, which cames with
libxml and requires no manual installation? :)

 Xmllint --format silently(!) drops any xml content it cannot handle (e.g if 
the .xml has one closing tag missing). Xmlpp seems to handle that fine (the 
only minor problem I noticed is that it alters the original xml in "harmless" 
ways such as changing " to ' or reordering attributes).

 If you need to deal with possibly broken XML, I suggest to use 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/tree/scratch/formatxml.cpp . It 
handles even malformed XML, it does not alter the contents in any way except 
for indenting it and explicitly marking problems in the XML structure with an 
easily visible comment.
