Thanks for getting to the bottom of this. I had wondered why, for some versions
of libxml2, xml_in would accept things that xmllint rejected. Sounds like the
list of errors that actually affect the return code has changed over time.

Sounds sensible. Will this impose any new libxml2 version dependency?
