I think it needs to stay out of the base system, so that 3rd party
applications aren't surprised to find a stale binary in the base system
instead of the latest version installed in the LOCALBASE.
I don't like the idea of a renamed version of this utility existing in
the base system, because I feel that folks who want it just for testing
the utilities linked against libbsdxml will have sufficient clue to
build it themselves.
Ciao,
Sheldon.

this point, even if it was heavily assisted by your MUA's delete
function. :-)
