I found the problems,
version 1.x of libxml which I had installed did not
have mature UTF-8 support. Upgrading solved the problems.
So gnome-xml *requires* libxml 2.* available from
http://xmlsoft.org/

I have submitted a patch to <patches@abisource.com>
hopefully there are no issues and it will get submitted
soon.

patch comments:
------------------------------------
No known breakage.
Tested OK with:
Build Options: LicensedTrademarks:Off Debug:On Gnome:Off Gnome-XML:Off
Build Options: LicensedTrademarks:Off Debug:On Gnome:On Gnome-XML:Off
Build Options: LicensedTrademarks:Off Debug:On Gnome:On Gnome-XML:On

* first step in support for libxml aka gnome-xml
* enable with ABI_OPT_GNOME_XML2
* cpp symbol is HAVE_GNOME_XML2
* lots of casting where g++ says "unsigned char = char" and vice versa
is an error

requires libxml version 2.x, see:
http://xmlsoft.org/

for the curious the patch is available at:
