Dealing with the activestate mailing list interface seems less than pleasant
so a post on the subject that had been answered did not pop up for me.

I did hit the pod for Encoding Support and I think I groked it.  While I was
at it I whipped up a diff with typo corrections as proof that I paid
attention...

I'm guessing the best way to keep code working that might interface with
different version of XML::LibXML is to use a conditional on:

$XML::LibXML::LIBXML_VERSION >= 1.63

at the point of writing out the results of $doc->toString, correct?

Thanks,
