Err... Let us get this straight, to avoid confusion. One could also
have several parser instances in one thread (or even non-MT
application) in use 'at the same time' in the sense, that every of
this parser instance is somewhere in the middle of parsing input and
awaiting the next chunk of data (all in a status after an e.g. 
XML_Parse(parser, buf, len, 0) call) and they work without confusing
each other.

Right?
