Maybe there's some possibility to have libxml2 read directly from a
file descriptor and to stop after parsing the first document, leaving
the descriptor open; currently, this isn't supported by libxml2dom,
however. Another possibility is to feed text to libxml2 until it can
return a well-formed document, which I do as part of the
libxml2dom.xmpp module, but I don't really support this feature in the
public API.

Again, improvements to libxml2dom may happen if I find the time to do
them.
