   Hum, try to use the generic error handler anyway
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlerror.html#xmlSetGenericErrorFunc

   if that fails try the structured error handling
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlerror.html#xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc

But I think both are linked to the same error gathering entry point in the
library so contrary to what the description may led to think it will work.
The point is that you can override those default error reporting by using
per parsing context specific handlers, but IMHO with the structured error
handler it's probably better to keep one entry point (unless you are 
writing a library in which case you should try to avoid the global setting).
