[Interest] QtXml deprecated, should I rewrite code that uses QDomDocument?

[Niels Dekker]

In a few Qt4 based projects that I'm involved with, we use QDomDocument, 
from QtXml. Now with Qt5, QtXml is deprecated, and 
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtxml/qtxml-index.html says about Qt 
XML: "The module is not actively maintained anymore. Please use the 
QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter classes in Qt Core instead."

So is it recommended for Qt users to rewrite code that uses 
QDomDocument, and replace it by code that uses QXmlStreamReader? It 
seems like a non-trivial task to me! (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Is the intention to eventually remove the QtXml library from Qt framework?

Are there other (technical) reasons for me to stop using QDomDocument?

Kind regards, Niels
