  Hum .... good point, I have made tests parsing > 4Gig files on 32bits
computers, but I never expected real XML files to go over 4GB (mea culpa),
and I'm afraid we might have some 32bit limits embedded in exported data
structure (though most of the _xmlParserInput is actually using
const xmlChar * to reference to data to that should work over 4GB.) 
  If it was only a problem of providing a new API I would do it without 
any hesitation, but I'm not sure this could be made to work really without
breaking ABI compatibility.
  If someone want to look at this, this sounds a good idea !
