Because app-text/xmlto is not in prefix (but depended upon).
I'd like to get that stupid xmlto tool in.
I'd like that too but for now everyone who puts 'USE=doc' in his make.conf gets errors about missing ebuilds. For someone who's only starting out that's very frustrating because he might not know how to get around it. (and often not having USE=doc is inacceptable as with all the ruby ebuilds where one'd be missing out on the ri documentation!). There's nothing wrong with package.use.masking doc on glib and removing that once xmlto is working.
which is true, but Prefix is still beta. Besides I'm lazy and simply like to fix the problems instead of working around them. I know your depgraph is broken, but that's the great relaxing thing of beta: that's just a shame but the risk of beta. Of course you can opt-in for doing tree maintenance ;)

pipping: please remove that mask, and retest now xmlto is in the tree.
the mask has been removed.
