[XML-SIG] Req: reading multiple XML instances from a stream

It would be very useful if all parsers were able to support (by
request) the common convention of reading an XML stream until an
indicator is found (commonly a form-feed or a MIME seperator on a line
by itself).  This would save application code from having to build a
possibly huge string in memory before starting a parse.

This might be a feature that can be formalized for SAX2 parsers.

Thanks,
