As far as I could tell yes those are the only areas, note that under libxml you are including: xml, simplexml, dom, xsl, wddx, soap, xmlrpc (and xmlreader/writer in pecl) The only way for it to work is either with Wez's dependancy patch or if done in 5.0 branch the iconv lib would have to statically be built into php5ts and exported wether or not the iconv ext was built statically or shared. I do think it would be a good idea to be able to build iconv without having libxml support though.
