They're not warnings, but fatal errors. The full log was

But I noticed that some distributions include a patched 0.0.20 which 
fixes it, so I guess requiring a new version would break them, because 
there's no way with XORG_WITH_XMLTO(0.0.20) to know if they work or not.

I had 0.0.20 from http://cyberelk.net/tim/data/xmlto/stable/ , the old 
xmlto site. New versions are at https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/

About garbled text converting to txt, I also get it. It was converting 
with Lynx, so I don't know if it works with w3m (the default) or Links. 
And I don't have fop.
