I generally prefer a pull model because it means I don't have to resort
to tricks to get and keep my state around.
I think the pull model falls apart when you want to do several things in
parallel as data comes streaming in -- e.g., build a DOM tree,
canonicalize the data for hashing (and XML DSIG). You then run into the
old GUI limitation of event loops: "there can be only one."
