  Thanks everybody for the set of tests feedback on the prerelease,
keep them coming :-) !

  okay,

  I would guess the ebcdic encoding support is limited, it would be
interesting to just try out for example 
   xmllint --encode UTF-8 test/ebcdic_566012.xml
and see if it outputs something okay or an error

  Hum, that's weird, the only thing I can think of is doing vaidity
  testing of XHTML which may load the DTDs, I have a local cache because
the XHTML1 DTDs are loaded in the XML catalog on my machines. I'm
surprizer because I sometimes run "make check" on machines without
any IP connection.

  it's a good thing to run runxmlconf but here it just relies on
2 tarballs installed under the xstc directory:
  xsts-2002-01-16.tar.gz and xsts-2004-01-14.tar.gz
I guess the later is actually used and extracted as a Tests/ subtree
under xstc. If needed I can put those 2 tarballs somewhere on
xmlsoft.org (and maybe change the test to load from there)

  thanks !

Daniel
