xpath_table

I noticed in the Postgres 9.1 manual that the xml2 module has been removed. I was looking to use the xpath_table functionality (making an xml doc look like a table so I could join it with other tables) but it looks like I can't.

Is there another way to make an xml doc look like a table?

No, it hasn't. We talked about it, but we didn't do it. We're still
"planning" to remove it three releases ago.

The hold-up has been that the built-in xml type still does not do
everything the old xml2 module did. I don't remember the details.
