  if you're calling the callbacks from libxml2 just to build a tree it's
bad, either use one of the parsers or build the tree with the tree API.
Other uses are not suported, in the sense that I may break randomly 
how the callback works. 
  I don't know why you are doing this but this sounds extremely fishy,
would you care to explain, because I'm trying to guess and mostly I see
only bad reasons.
