Thanks for the advice, although I just tried running the filter on an
old scribus file and it seems the XmlReader is quite happy to process
xml files that are malformed in this way so it looks like there's no
need for buffering.

I've attached a tweaked version of the filter to the bugzilla page
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380950) which is now ready
to be committed by someone.
