Thanks, that looks like it'll solve my problem nicely. Right now I'm
using the expat technique that Martin v. Löwis suggested, which solves
the problem nicely and probably is quite fast, but it assumes that the
user has expat. I think I'll end up using your solution with SAX for
compatibility with other parsers.
