I of course do not want a step back, and my system is running happilly
with the new libxml, I have not noticed any problems (although spanish
lives happily in a latin-1 universe, maybe that is why I see no
problems).

As I said before, I am very interested in interoperability with other
XML systems. The correctness in libxml1 is important to me.  I would
really like to have your permission to ship libxml1 with Ximian GNOME,
as this was the kind of work we wanted to do anyways for the release.

We also need to figure out what the problems are with the new libxml1
(so I would appreciate if Maciej actually provided a detailed list of
the known problems)

Miguel.
