Because I was kind of inconsistent ;-)

I'll make one of them consistent with the other.

I don't think it matters. NE_XML_DECLINE is a zero return value,
which Neon defines as meaning "do nothing". Non-zero aborts the
parse. We return zero from that wrapper callback in any case where
there's no svn error returned.

Should be fine, since if we get an error there it will return
NE_XML_ABORT higher up.

Yep.

I think the elt_name has to be non-null, although I suspect the
namespace might be, I'll look into it further. I'll also look at
making the other errors return the element names. Sometimes it wasn't
convenient to figure out what element was actually causing the
problem, but in many cases it should be possible.

The error returned will be the same, but yeah, I agree we should use
the name if possible.

Keep in mind, these errors are only going to occur if the server is
broken or something is actually removing stuff from the XML. I agree
it could be made better (most of these errors could), but jumping
through hoops to improve the clarity of errors that almost never
happen may not be the best use of time.

Because the start callback needs to be able to return the state entry
for this element, so they need to be able to return arbitrary
integers. The cdata and end element callbacks only need to return
either zero (for no problem at all), which is what the wrapper returns
when you return SVN_NO_ERROR from your callback, or non-zero to break
out of the parse, which is what gets returned whenever you return an
actual error from your callback.

I'll improve the docs there.
