I vaguely recall James Clark mentioning that he expected some people to use 
the really-really-really-low-level calls directly, especially if they didn't 
need to do much with the XML data.

It's not at all clear to be that anyone uses these APIs, so it may be that 
doing something with the library would be best.

It would be interesting to know if anyone is using the low-level calls.  It 
would be quite disturbing if they are.  ;-)  They certainly aren't 
documented, and I dread the thought that they need to be supported.
