  Damn ... I always forget toc check this when editing with Amaya :-\

  Should be simpler than SAX, and allow to handle large document for which
the tree API don't allow to load the full document.
  The interesting point is that the underlying parser framework is the
tree builder, I should be able to do intermediate modes where some nodes
are saved and a result tree which is a subset of the original document is
available. Basically the way nodes are removed from the tree as progress
is made and access to that instant document subtree are possible, XPath 
and the whole libxml2 tree API should be usable on those intermediate
tree view. There is a lot of interesting tweaks which can be made on that
original framework. For example if you want to XSLT process a huge document
but are interested only in the output from a subtree, parsing and selecting
those nodes only should be easy, then you end up with the subdocument
xmlDocPtr that could then be fed to the XSLT processor. More to come...
