BTW, IRIX cc gives:

cc-3303 cc: WARNING File = ./include/libxml/HTMLparser.h, Line = 61
  A type qualifier on a return type is meaningless.

  const htmlElemDescPtr htmlTagLookup   (const xmlChar *tag);
                        ^

  const htmlEntityDescPtr       htmlEntityLookup(const xmlChar *name);

  The variable "stringlen" is set but never used.

      int stringlen; /* in bytes */
