It is possible to build libxml without HTML support, which would mean that PHP does not support the saveHtml() features and HTML parsing in general. It also adds some maintenance complexity. I'm not aware of any distro that does this and it shows: this has been broken since stubs have been introduced. So we can just drop it as clearly no one cares about this or we would've known about it already. It also simplifies downstream code because they can now rely on the HTML functionality to always be available.
