RE: [xml] LSB specification for libxml2 library

["Banginwar, Rajesh" <rajesh banginwar intel com>]

Thanks Kasimier. 

We updated specs on the lsb website to cover your comments. All those
types are now removed from the spec. We will really appreciate if you
can provide any other information; a list of what should be removed or
as you said, a list of what should be exposed. If you provide a list of
what should be exposed, we will cross check the specs.


Thanks again,

-Rajesh
