For the renderer no XML writer library is needed, XML tags are written 
directly by the writer. In fact implementing this using a XML library would 
be probably much harder.

For plugins are no strict rules. In DokuWiki's core we try to be compatible 
with PHP 4.3 standard installs. This might change with a broader adoption 
of PHP5. But til then a PHP only library (at least as fallback when native 
PHP extensions are not available) is a good idea.
