Re: [xml] Only through experimentation :o) XML and memory

	Thanks - I wanted to make sure that was the precise operation.  For 
users new to libxml it might be useful to read it thus (from the 
documentation):

From:

"Free up all the structures used by a document, tree included."

To:

"Free up the tree and all structures used by a document, including 
external nodes that are linked to the document."


If this addition seems more clear (opinions please!), should I include 
a report with an amendment?

Regards,
                Jose.
