Thanks for the response. I think I may be looking in the wrong place to
determine whether a global variable is publically accessible
(globals.h). Is there any other way to see whether variables and struct
supposed to be used publically? I need to check the LSB spec for
discrepancies and it seems to imply that _xmlGlobalState is just a
regular struct.
