[xml] tracking libxml's internal node creation / destruction?

[Lukas Schroeder <lukas kodics de>]

hi,

it's been quite a while since i brought this up on May 25th, 2002...

with "[RFC] [patch] register, deregister node callbacks"
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2002-May/msg00183.html)
i submitted a rfc-patch to extend the libxml2 api with two callbacks to
track the internal node creation / destruction.

i proposed such an interface b/c the php domxml extension was (and still
is!) struggling with internal node destruction (think TEXT_NODE
coalescence et.al.).


currently there is no way to track which nodes libxml2 internally
creates / destroys to handle various operations.


how do other libxml2 language bindings handle these cases?
