[xml] xmlNewTextChild without parent parameter

["Tony Baldarelli" <tbaldarelli wmsvision com>]

Hello,
        We need to create a text node.  Right now we are using xmlNewText, which
does not require knowledge of the parent node.  The problem is that it does
not seem the reserved XML characters ( such as the ampersand ) are
automatically replaced by their XML escaped entity representations.
xmlNewTextChild does do  this, but requires the parent node.  Are there any
functions that just simply create a text node ( like xmlNewText ) with the
XML reserved characters escaped ( like xmlNewTextChild )?  I could not find
any in the documentation or archive.  Thanks.
