Those libraries are part of the Rev IDE stacks, so their handlers aren't 
normally accessible in MC.

A short-term solution is Ken's great XML library:

For the long-term, I've been working on an experimental fork of the MC 
IDE which I'm tentatively calling "M2".  Among the other things I've 
been experimenting with is the ability to load Rev's runtime libraries 
for use within MC, and to include those as options in the standalone 
builder.  It'll be some time before it's ready for public consumption, 
but when it is I suspect the Rev compatibility module will be completed 
in a way that will make it easy to contribute as an MC plugin.
