the value is used by the parser context; the old code called it only after the *first* parser context was created. therefore the first XMLTree::read() call has its behavior determined by libxml2's default for this value, rather than by our explicit choice (do not treat whitespace as a note). All subequent read() calls will use our value. This variable inside libxml2 is actually per-thread, which just increases the stakes for calling xmlKeepBlanksDefault() at the right time
