Rather than either reading incrementally or else slurping in the
entire document in many-noded glory, I wonder if anyone's implemented
a parser that scans over the XML doc and makes a compact sequential
representation of the tree structure, and then provides access methods
that let you traverse the tree as if it were a real DOM, by fetching
the appropriate strings from the (probably mmap'ed) disk file as you
walk around in the tree.
