One option I've used before which isn't on the list is on hackage here:

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xml

I have a parser for these XML files:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/proto/tree/src

in this Haskell package on hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xcb-types

I'm no Haskell guru, and the code may not be the best example - but
the library is pretty easy to get started with.
