I have been eyeing the other 28 bits of xmlSaveOption recently, mostly
to add a XML_SAVE_XHTML to go counter to the current XML_SAVE_NO_XHTML
that would unconditionally turn *on* the Appendix C rules without
needing one of the XHTML 1.0 doctypes. Some other tweaks to like
XML_SAVE_XHTML_NO_META_CHARSET would perhaps also be good. Would an
XML_SAVE_TEXT_HTML option to do the old sgmlish serialisation answer
your use case?
