Wow, that's ... overwhelming. (I do wonder if we should stop relying on
libxml2 and instead look for something supporting XQuery).

Would you review Markus Winand patch here?

I think doing that would probably point out a couple of ways in which
our XMLTABLE implementation is non-conformant, and then fixes it :-)
I've been unsure as to applying it to all branches since 10 or just to
master.
