Gimme a patch, I will incorporate it.

No, for teh very simple reason that an xmlChar is not a C string
it's an UTF-8 encoded string. Even if this part of the implementation
is not complete, that's the intent, and I want a different type since
the content is somewhat different,
As a note, UTF-8 string should no break client code, it's still
a 0 terminated octet string, just that it's variable lenght character
set. This is high in my task list but it's unfortunately not easy.
