  Excellent, applied without problem, they passed the tests, including
the W3C/NIST testsuite regression and XSLT ones.

We are in a good start to get rid of ctxt->token in the XML parser.
The last places where I found ctxt->token initialized is in parserInternals.c:

parserInternals.c:      ctxt->token = '&';
parserInternals.c:      ctxt->token = '&';
parserInternals.c:        ctxt->token = ent->content[0];

but it is in xmlParserHandleReference() deprecated code, It should not even
be compiled in anymore.

  Okay here I see xmllint --valid --noout passing t4 t4a t6 t9 t9a and
complaining in the DTD of t8 and t8a resulting in a non-welformedness 
error handling (no tree is generated).
  I added them to the regression tests,

  In general, thanks a LOT ! I appreciate very much that others are now
gaining a full understanding of the inner parts of the library, it's large
relatively complex, and getting good patches tackling to this level of
understanding is just a proof that the project as a whole is working and
taking momentum, you can't imagine how happy I am about this !

   thanks again, to you and everybody contributing !

Daniel
