Of course
it is an extra step both ways. But using libxml_get_errors() forces me to
use libxml_use_internal_errors and libxml_clear_errors afterwards.

Until xmlreader throws exceptions on errors it is not modeled
after the .NET XMLReader, because that part is really missing.
So the
argument chain is somehow broken here :)

Is it possible to
reopen my bug and change it to a feature request or do I have to resubmit
my thoughts?

Greetings,

Nico
