This issue also affects Moodle backup+restore and HotPot module

Where can I find the libxml2 patch?
Does someone have a link to the libxml2 bug reporting tool
which describes this issue?

Does no one pay attention to the comments? The fix for this needs to 
happen on the libxml2 layer. The next version of libxml2 should resolve

this and this bug is being kept open only in case some modification to

the extension also needs to occur with the fix.

Recompile with libexpat or downgrade libxml. One of those will sort you
out.

A change to libxml will be in the next release, though the patch isn't
in their repository yet.

Any update on resolving this issue?  All of my web based RSS aggregator
sites are broken, I am unable to post using any desktop clients and none
of the workarounds seem to work or can't be implemented due to various
reasons.  

Please advise.  This bug has been open for a long time and it seems to
be affecting a lot of people.
