I never said it was, I was refering to the underlying parser for DOM. In my
understanding...
push - an implementation where the parser alerts the program of different
tokens, in our case different XML nodes (tags, data, etc...).
pull - the parser collects the data to later create a data structure
representation of it for the program.
That's what I've got as an understanding of it. If I am wrong is not due to
my lack of reading about the subject, but rather to the lack of a clear
explanation on a programmers level, not an English/Philosopher theory on the
subject of a correct definition.

I'm not trying to change anything, rather am trying to figure out what is it
exactly you and others agreed upon here. I've heard three different peoples
point of view here, that does not necessarily agree with yours.

Where is it published? That's actually what I've been looking for. I also
don't consider a search on google, that comes up with thousands of resources
a standard.
Again, I don't disagree with anything, I am just trying to get a clear
(normal termininology) meaning of this, sort of like Clark and Jeff did in a
few of their posts.
You were very helpful too, but I just disagreed with your point, or maybe I
just misunderstood it.
