No, I just need to access the nodes.  I've done some debugging in there so I'm
confident I can copy the code for unlink_node and make it work for me (in fact,
it's working already!).  If I get it working I'll send the code in to whoever
does that kind of stuff.

Thanks, it seems to be working.  Will the buffer get bigger if it needs to?
It's default size is 4000 bytes, but I expect some node could exceed that.

Also, what is the proper way to deallocate an xmlBufferPtr?
