QtXml deprecated, how to upgrade user code which uses Qt's DOM classes?

      http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtdoc/qtmodules.html#qt-add-ons says about the Qt XML module: "Deprecated, please use QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter for new functionality."

      Ok, but what about old user code which uses the QtXml DOM classes (QDomDocument, QDomElement, etc.)? Would you suggest replacing such code by using QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter as well? Or would you suggest QtXml users to look for a different third party library (e.g., pugixml, recommended by Konstantin Tokarev at the mailing list [1])?

      Is the intention to eventually remove the QtXml library from the Qt framework?
