[xml] configuring SAX push parser in libxml2 (rss item elements not in results)

[Peter Blazejewicz <peter blazejewicz gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm writing very simple push-based libxml2 SAX parser in ObjC/C  
client. Not a problem.
However I've found that one of RSS 2.0 feeds used for tests is not  
correctly processed. (I've already had such situation couple of times  
when using JavaScript WebKit engine - but it was easy to correct by  
using namespaces in DOM based parser)
However with libxml2 push SAX parser I really do not know how to deal  
with it.
The RSS feed is parsed correctly all BUT "item" elements.
For some reason SAX parser does not emit startElement/startElementNs/ 
endElement/endElementNs for all <item>....</item> elements in feed  
channel.
The same push parser implementation (with details changed in state  
machine) works correctly with other feeds data.
Can someone see what could be configured in parser or added to SAX  
handler to work with issue? (the sax push parser is the only possible  
implementation on target client device). The feed has utf-8 specified  
and data is sent from server with utf-8 stream encoding.

kind regards,
