Some further comments: Ola and I started working on the parallel mesh
parsing, mesh partitioning, mesh distribution and assembly a while
back. Along the way it turned out that we needed to be able to store
new data types (like maps from ints to arrays) in MeshData and this
called for a more or less complete rewrite of the XML parsing system
to enable better reuse of code.

This is more or less finished now (after some hard work by Ola) and
the new format/parser will replace the old after the next release.
XML schemas for the DOLFIN XML format(s) are also on the way.
