  If you remove the main motivation factor for doing 3986 properly,
how do you expect to motivate someone (you, me, someone else) to actually
spend the time ?
  At the moment libxml2 is coherent I think in its 2396 implementation,
I'm a bit vary of doing minimal half done changes just for convenience.
I'm not strongly objecting, but I wonder what's the long term impact...
