  Done, I tested commited the parser upgrade. It is in the 
gnome-xml LIB_XML_1_BRANCH head.

  This version of the XML parser will accept UTF8 and ISO-Latin-1
documents only, it will generate only UTF8 output.

  I have put tar and RPMs for people to test the binary compatibility
and that it doesn't break things at:
    ftp://xmlsoft.org/test/

  I was able to relaunch my desktop after the upgrade, galeon included,
so I'm awaiting reports (please include at least stack traces and if this
looks hard, grab me on #gnome IRC). If by Friday I don't get a showstopper
I will release 1.8.12 officially.
