I asked for --noent in the first example above, but not in the second. As noted, 'xmllint --noout <filename>' without --noent gives the same behavior. I probably should have made the two examples more distinct visually. Is the above behavior (without --noent) a bug? If so, I'll gladly file a bug report.
