Sorry I'm so damn dumb.

All I'm doing is setting a flag that says there's no more input.  Just as
if the file was truncated.  How do I know *not* to call
htmlParseChunk(ctxt, buf, 0, 1)?  I'm at the end of the file, there's no
more input, that's all I know.

I tried to follow the example in testHTML.c, (e.g. where it calls
endElementDebug() ), and James Henstridge's examples, and
http://www.xmlsoft.org/#interface for the push parser, and the docs.  I'm
not trying to build a tree, so I'm not following why you are referring to
DOM.  I'm trying to use the push interface with SAX:

   "Note also that the push interface can be limited to SAX: just use 
    the two first arguments of xmlCreatePushParserCtxt()."

Which is what I'm doing.  At least that's the plan.

Can you point me to examples of documentation that explains this?  Again,
I'm using SAX, and I thought the point was to set my own callbacks...  You
are saying I need to call endElement() in my SAX callback?

I don't mind boring and non-sexy answers -- I just need help understanding
what exactly is wrong with my example code, as I think I'm following the
examples and docs as best I can understand them.  If I'm not, the what I
need is a clear explanation of why, and perhaps a pointer to more info.
