strangely, the online manual doesn't include anything. I would
have thought it's updated automatically. I found the methods
because DV told me about them, and by looking into libxml/globals.h
at line 112 f. (again, libxml2 version 2.5.1)

ok, agreed. But I'm not sure whether they should go forever, or whether
we may reintroduce them whenever we have a better understanding of the
object ownership stuff, i.e. when we know how to implement them
correctly.
