Pulldom is a SAX handler but it depends on an incremental parser which
is, strictly speaking, an extension to SAX. The client does not see
Pulldom as either a SAX parser or filter. It isn't a SAX parser because
you don't have to register a handler or anything.

I think you Perl guys have always used pull-parsers, probably for much
the same reason's that I decided to do pulldom.

I've put up preliminary info and code here:

There is no rocket science involved in either the API nor the
implementation.
