  Initial no, the reset is complete, inputs included:
  http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html#xmlCtxtReset
Once you have started parsing you cannot go back on input, it's a new parse.

The functions xmlCtxtRead... are specifically designed for reuse on multiple
parse:

  http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html#xmlCtxtReadMemory

Trying to reuse contexts with other functions is not garanteed, simply because
I didn't tested those, you will have to try and possibly debug.
