a cleaned up version of this patch will be integrated into libxml2 2.6.33. It
won't make a difference for those who parse 'only' HTML or other single
languages with a somewhat small vocabulary (tags/attributes), but if you parse
many different types of XML documents (XSD, XSLT, your language, ...), you
will notice a difference.
