  Yes, and yes :-)

Concerning the second point, yes the XML specification allow only one
root in an XML document.
Concerning the first point you need to use the xmlParseElement() function:

http://rpmfind.net/veillard/XML/gnome-xml-parserinternals.html#XMLPARSEELEMENT

This is part of the parser internal routines set exported through
parserInternals.h available in the latests libxml packages (or CVS).

  The problem is to generate the parser context input corresponding to
your piece of input. I currently don't export such a function, it's
lacking from the API. I will try to provide those ASAP by splitting
the functions like xmlSAXParseMemory() in an initialization part and
and the actuall call to the parser. I will try to do that and commit it
this afternoon.

  BTW, could you indicate what kind of use you have in mind ? If this
turn out to be useful to others I may move it directly in tree.h .

Daniel
