  From an XML point of view the parser cannot ignore it. Either you
detect and ignore it at your level after parsing (and it's dependant on
how you process the data) or you have to get it stripped out with non-XML
tools before handling it to the parser. I don't see any other possibilities
and in either case, it's fully dependant on how your code work, not on
how libxml2 works.
