This protects against changes or casting problem and makes the API

Why a layer of abstraction? This issue is mainly about lack of
documentation and safe casting functions. I think it would be better to
improve the libxml2 itself. Here's my current attempt on this:

If I'm doing something stupid, please tell me.
instead of flaming and then stating to write tons of patches on your
git clone without comments on the git commits nor discussions on this
list about what you intent to do the most likel outcome is lot of
patches rotting somewhere in a corner of github.
I'm not gonna magically pull your set of patches.
I will review patches if they are sent on this list with explanation of
what they are doing. And before rolling dozen of those get feedback on
the first ones.
Oh and use less incendiary mail subjects, after all my code and API
as crazy as they are, I love them (to some extent, lot of this was
set up 15+ years ago !)
