This whole thread brought to mind an approach to streaming XML that I
first saw described by David Megginson several years ago[1]--simply
separate documents in the stream with the formfeed character, which is
never legal in an XML document. I believe this approach will work even
with XML 1.1, since it requires that control characters must be encoded
as character references.
