Ok, if the above example works for you this seems to be a problem with the
libxml version in Debian... it doesn't work here (again it does not only
include the <p> elements, but instead the complete top-level <doc>
element).

Hmmm... can anyone else here using the latest libxml2 from Debian unstable
please check whether either the example above or the one below works for
him or not?
