That works especially well with how Michel and I were thinking it should be 
split up with a core that essentially just gives you a range of XML 
tokens/tags. You then have separate SAX and/or DOM parsers on top of that 
(which also should minimize decoding, but they actually have to care about 
decoding in some cases in order to do stuff like check matching tags).
