There is a good explanation for that:
xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault is based on global variables, changing behaviour
of a shared library using a global variable is evil, simply because you may
not be the only user of that library within a given program. That's why
all the new APIs rely on flags passed to each parser to modify the
behaviour, xmlReadxxx() are part of those new APIs, that's why they won't
be affected by xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault().
