With xmlstarlet 1.5.0-1 and file.xml containing "<root/>",
"xmlstarlet sel -t -v 0 file.xml" gives the following results:

* with libxslt1.1 1.1.26-8, a line containing the number 0
  ("0\n");

* with libxslt1.1 1.1.28-2, the number 0 without a newline character
  ("0").

This is a major difference (e.g. "wc -l" expects a newline character),
and the soname hasn't changed, thus this is unexpected. It must be
fixed in some way or another.
