What do you mean, "all events have to be ready"?
If you look at the unit tests, the events are generated on-the-fly,
not at the end of the document.
(exactly the same as iterparse(), except that iterparse() is blocking)

Implementation-wise, data_received() and eof_received() are not thin
wrappers over feed() and close(), they rely on an internal API to get
at the generated events (which justifies putting the functionality
inside the etree module, by the way).
