Re: Bug (?) in XML::LibXML when creating XML docs with invalid characters

I've been testing libxml2 and the "xmlNodeAddContent" function. It turns
out that libxml2 does not enforce XML validity and thus you can create
non well-formed XML using it. However, there is a set of functions under
the chvalid.h header whose purpose is precisely to state whether some
character is valid/invalid etc. Thus, in libxml2 you can do the
following:

  char c[2] = { 7, 0 }; // NULL ending string with the U+0007 char

  if (xmlIsChar_ch(c[0])) {
     // only called if character c[0] is valid
     xmlNodeAddContent(elem, &c[0]);
  } else {
     // c[0] is invalid, so die miserably.
     ...
  }

As far as I know there is no way of using the functions of chvalid.h in
XML::LibXML, right ?

best,
