What I found was absolutely appalling, especially compared to XML::Smart

Yes, gmpassos is M.I.A., this means you can take over maintenance/development of XML::Smart -- you can also fork the codebase at any time

Plus, the documentation for XML::LibXML is horrid!

Actually, no, it really isn't. It is quite comprehensive and complete; in any case, as they say, patches welcome

(For god's sake, jQuery was created because people were sick of typing "document.getElementById" all the damn time.)

Actually, no it wasn't. jQuery was created because html/browsers did not expose xpath to javascript. XML::LibXML gives you xpath.

Any idiot can define a one char shortcut for document.getElementById

Where is XML::LibXML::Smart || XML::LibXML::Tree || XML::LibXML::jQuery?

Eh?
