Neither PocketPC 2003 nor Smartphones MS currently ships support MSXML3, and
they never will have a patch to support MSXML3. This is a feature in
Windows CE 4.2 and PPC 2003 is built on CE 4.2, so naively you'd think it'd
be in there. However PocketPC team decided not to take it but to ship
MSXML2. Explanation for this is on my other posts.

I'm not quite sure what Mobile 2003 is - I'd always thought it was the
marketing name for PocketPC (or maybe a smartphone). It sounds like it's
built off the PocketPC core at least of CE 4.2 + MSXML2 (not 3), so no
updates are coming no matter what it is. Sorry.
