No, I do not have time.  I can only tell you that your explanation is
incorrect.

There are no memory leaks.  libxml2 has an extremely powerful mem debug
that, when enabled, can track every xmlMalloc() made.  You can can a summary
function that will show every call to xmlMalloc that wasn't xmlFree'ed.  

I can tell you that using libxml2 to process through 100,000 lines of
database i/o in the life of the program not a byte of memory is leaked.
