This is what I was wondering. Why not just send the XML you want 
parsed rather than cook up a means to serialize SAX events? Surely 
that'll be more work?

Any XML parser will start parsing as soon as it receives the start element, 
so you can have the document being incrementally parsed on the client 
as it's being spat out by the server.

Doesn't Jabber do something similar?
