There are tons of calls to xmllint on every individual file. It is annoying (and slow) to get those hundreds of lines of output that everything's ok every time.
1) I wonder if we really care. But I guess it is good to check that what's generated is valid. 2) In which case, I wonder if there is any feasible way to combine calls to reduce the number of invocations and amount of output. xmllint supposedly takes more than one file. Unfortunately from a quick look it is invoked from tex4ht.env[-unix] and it is only set up to do one file. Michal, have you roamed around in this area at all? Any ideas? --thanks, karl.
