  Well usually when one parses a document it's to use it ! I was expecting
you actually collected the result and handled it, it's kind of a pointless
exercise otherwise (unless you just want to collect parser output).

   Use a normal API like htmlReadMemory() instead of attacking the
low level parser interfaces directly ... And yes, free the resulting
document after use.
