Mixed content doesn't use node->content but text nodes between element
nodes.
Imagine you have node->content not NULL *AND* child elements. When you
need to "serialize" the tree, where do you put node->content in relation
with child elements ? before ? after ? somewhere between ? There's no
issue!
If you have child elements, text content is represented by text nodes
(XML_TEXT_NODE) between your child elements (XML_ELEMENT_NODES).
You can figure out this passing the --debug option to xmllint.
