Great, I'll take a look when I can.

The observation that prompted the comment was that in some cases you 
were hardcoding the same string multiple times.  For XML properties, it 
should be fairly straightforward to use static const arrays (which could 
already be of xmlChar[] type), so I'd be inclined to do so.  XPath 
queries could get really clunky that way, so perhaps not.  Use your 
judgment.
