I believe the confusion comes from the fact you said QtXml instead of 
QtXmlPattern.
This is an entierly different module.
(Maybe the bug you are talking about is 
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-12534 which indeed is quite bad.)

IMHO, having another backend than the current unmaintained one would indeed be 
preferable. The problem is that we have to be sure we can do everything that 
the current one is doing without too many regressions. And still working on 
all supported platforms. This can be a lot of work.
