Correct. Btw, I don't think Expat checks URIs.

In any case, this would be a little difficult to expose,
because these functions are are inlined as macros in 
a way that makes them part of the parsing logic, they
are not callable as separate functions. At a first glance
it is not even easy to see which ones they are.
