No there are no plans for support Expat as an underlying parser for 
C++/Tree. The C++/Tree mapping derives much of its power and flexibility
from interfacing with DOM. Features like wildcard mapping, optional
association with underlying DOM nodes, "fixing up" XML before parsing
or after serialization, etc., all require DOM. So Xerces-C++ is pretty
much a fixed underlying XML parser for this mapping.

We are, however, working on a lighter-wight mapping similar to C++/Tree
that will support various underlying XML parsers, including Expat.
