This function is here for cases like yours, when a quick addition of a 
mapping is not possible, but the use of a libxml functionnality is required.
Of course it somehow breaks the encapsulation, but from a pragmatic 
point of view, it's worth it.

It is the simpliest approach possible. In a long term view, you still 
can propose a patch for a mapping addition, which will be included in 
the next api version.
