Is it also possible to specify such a flag when parsing using

   ctx=xmlCreatePushParserCtxt(...);
   xmlParseChunk(...);
   doc=ctx->myDoc;
   xmlFreeParserCtxt(ctx);
?

Or, alternatively, can one "unlink" ALL references into the original 
document when moving a node into another document?

But, unfortunately, IMHO, the parser API semantics has changed.
It implies that xmlsec (up to version 1.2.6) does not work with libxml2 
versions 2.6.15 and higher (I assume that xmlsec code: 
xmlSecParseMemoryExt and xmlSecReplaceNodeBuffer is valid in respect to 
the libxml2 reader/parser API).
