I already mentioned on this list that, personally, I'd completely remove the 
text node size limit. It ostensibly protects against DoS attacks, but there 
are countless other ways to make libxml2 consume even more resources than 
feeding it large text nodes.

Instead of adding even more kludges, I'd prefer a work-around that doesn't 
require additional public functions. Maybe you can simply call 
xmlNewTextWriterPushParser with a custom parser context instead?
