SaxParser currently supports everything we need, but it is not possible to use any Dom-based 
methods on the SaxParser, by moving them down to the Parser base class.

I did try using xmlSAXUserParseFile(), but had a mysterious segfault. I wanted to make SaxParser 
use this and then maybe add a derived SaxPushParser class.
