  Okay, but I expect to provide the same kind of htmlRead... APIs
as provided for the XML parser for the HTML parser and those include
encoding as a const char * . As discussed a few weeks ago on the list
I'm trying to get rid as much as possible of the xmlCharEncoding type
which is too limited and for no good reason.
  The patch might help those stuck with 2.5.11, thanks but from 2.6.0
I expect a better alternative API.
