  Sorry, no. You really should not change the structure. You can link extra
informations based on the _private field in the document but if you start
changing the structure, it's your code, it won't behave like our code,
it's your bugs, we just can't debug it... And there is a number of place 
where xmlNodePtr and xmlDocPtr are supposed to match so this kind of changes
will just generate a mountain of problems.
