  No it's a well balanced chunk. Use
  int
  xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory(xmlDocPtr doc, xmlSAXHandlerPtr sax,
       void *user_data, int depth, const xmlChar *string, xmlNodePtr *lst) {

  xmlNodePtr lst;

  ret = xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory(yourdoc, NULL, NULL, 0, newText, &lst);

  if all goes well, ret is 0 and lst contains a list of nodes you can then
plug in yourdoc.
