  well it just misses the number of bytes output, which I guess you can
ignore just fine :-)
  Unless you have a very old libxml2 which would not export
xmlSaveTree, but that sounds unlikely.

  IIRC you have a root node called <tmp> and what you really want to
to is serialize the subtree under tmp, so xmlSaveTree() sounds the
right API to use in the first case.
  Also note that xmlSaveDoc has the same defect as xmlSaveTree(),
but that's not a problem (for example you can get the lenght from the
buffer directly.
