It's a mixture of both!

I thought of fixing at the same place, but then decided to do it inside
xmlAddChild because I thought it would take care of the problem at other
places where the return value  is not checked, but I wasn't really sure
whether it was the right way to go about it.

That's my next target ;)

 

And a big thanks to you and libxml, for the continued co-operation and help.
