 - progressive parsing. Currently the parser uses a single  - progressive parsing. The entity support is a first step toward
   string containing the full document. The good point is    asbtraction of an input stream. A large part of the context is still
   that there is no context associated with the parser, the    located on the stack, moving to a state machine and putting everyting
   full state is in the stack. The bad point is that such a    in the parsing context should provide an adequate solution.
   recursive design is hard to make progressive ...
