  yes I know, I did a small Jabber implementation on top of SAX
using libxml2 2 years ago, so it's defintely doable.
  Still if the client send <foo>bar</foo> at the TCP/IP
socket interface, you have no garantee to receive the chunk in one block
the only thing saving it is taht usually the XML is "formatted"
and the linefeed will force a flush on the TCP/IP stream.

  Worked for me at the time.
