OK. Now I'm really confused. I'm using the LIB_XML_1_BRANCH tag on
cvs.gnome.org. But use of "#include <libxml/...>" definitely does not work,
despite the claims on your web page. "xml-config --clflags" writes out
"-I<prefix>/include/gnome-xml/" and there is no libxml subdirectory in
there. Does this mean that LIB_XML_1_BRANCH is not as new as libxml-1.8.8
and lacks the "#include <libxml/...>" feature?

I'm not sure what to do next. There are lots of sources using #include
<gnome-xml/...> to include gnome-xml headers [bonobo, gnome-vfs, gnome-fm
:-), nautilus, gnome-core, gconf, gnome-libs (HEAD at least), evolution,
gal, gnumeric, ammonite] and I'd like to fix them, but I don't know how.
Apparently Mathieu has already changed oaf in the same way he suggests
changing gconf (removing the gnome-xml/ prefix), but I hope we can do better
than that.
