As long as we're playing 'can you top this', not only has our LT 
XML toolkit [1] offered the facility of alternating between streaming
and object-based access to XML documents since 1998, but its
predecessor LT NSL [2], first released in 1995, provided this facility 
for a streaming version of SGML we called at the time 'Normalised
SGML'.
