I'm not a libxml developer, but I think that it's just impossible.

In XSieve I played with lazyness. XSieve is a hybrid of XSLT and Scheme.
On the Scheme side, the XML data is automatically represented as SXML.
Initially, I used the lazy conversion. Than I switched to full conversion,
without on-demand tricks. Result is: the code is much faster. Yes, the
lazy version drained performance by checking if something is already
instantiated or not.
