First, let me say I didn't read your delta, just your commit message.

Second, I think that part of the choice of name is to discourage its use
by third-party applications, rather than to allow it to coexist with
libexpat from the ports tree.

But the delta isn't as bad as I imagined.

Sorry for the exagerated (and possibly false, you decide) alarm. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
