Although it looks trivial to remove the warning from libxml2, I'm reluctant since this piece of code existed for a very long time, a random check shows that version 2.2.3 (in 2000) has the logic: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/blob/04698d9e1c56467007fcbb9472e5db67cf5938f5/parserInternals.c#L66 Cheers, Aron
