[QUOTE]
Updated how legacy parser local callbacks are utilized by
init_callbacks so that the XML::LibXML::InputCallback object doesn't
have to be temporarily modified during the parsing process.
This change could break code for users that have subclassed
XML::LibXML::InputCallback and overridden the init_callbacks method

cases with old buggy libxml2 versions)

- make {get,set,has}Attribute(Node)? methods work with full
attribute names rather than just localnames.
(Although DOM Level 3 is not very clear about the behavior of
these methods for an attributes with namespaces, it certainly
does not imply that getAttribute('foo') should return value of a
bar:foo, which was the old behavior.)

- added XML Schema validation interface (XML::LibXML::Schema)
- added XML RelaxNG validation interface (XML::LibXML::RelaxNG)
- Michael K. Edwards' patch applied with some amendments from Petr Pajas:
* add debian build files (I added SKIP_SAX_INSTALL flag for
Makefile.PL and changed the patch so that it doesn't disable
sax parser registration completely by default, and rather made
debian build use this flag)
* general cleanup (use SV_nolen, etc.)
* SAX parsers cleanup
* general error reporting code cleanup/rewrite, try preventing
possible memory leaks
* recover(1) now triggers warnings (disable with $SIG{__WARN__}=sub {})
(fixes bug 1968, too)

parsing fh, etc): e.g. parse_string("<foo:bar>"), i.e prefix without
NS declaration, raises error unless recover(1) is used
* documentation fixes/updates

parsing.
