Anomalies ? Where ?

The idea is not to "eliminate" XmlReader and XmlWriter. For two reasons :

- They still can be very useful. The new XmlReader and XmlWriter are not
made for little documents (as said, the others are more dynamic), but they
are made for streams.
For example, you can "connect" a TCP socket to XmlReader and Writer, and
they will read/write the XML for you. Here is a little example with
XmlReader (the page is in french, but the program is in english) :

- For compatibility reasons. Before the new gb.xml arrived, the
XmlDocument/XmlNode classes were very poor (unusable). So, everyone use
XmlReader and XmlWriter...
