  Well I think you're wrong in your expectation that both calls will
work the same way. xmlNodeAddContent really just does a concatenation
at the string level as its documenation implies

   "Append the extra substring to the node content."

while xmlNodeSetContent is more complex trying to process embbeded
entities references.

  Trying to change their behaviour sounds dangerous to me.
