The DOM WG will be defining the requirements for Level 3 over the next 6
weeks or so.  Standard APIs for loading, saving, parsing, and serializing
XML text are "must have" items for Level 3, and this issue (that an
application may want access to the elements of a document before it is fully
parsed) has come up. For example, a programmer might choose not to continue
parsing some huge document after the necessary data were found.

Concrete suggestions for actual APIs or pointers to APIs that allow this
would be appreciated.
