Hi - I do wonder about this : The DOM model used in IE allows some ability to begin parsing the XML before the entire file has downloaded (by watching the readyState of the document being parsed). I am not sure how far this goes in terms of being useful. But from what you say below, it kind of implies that only an event-driven non-validating parser (SAX or whatever) will be able to *begin* reading a streamed XML format (by assuming the root tag will be closed). So, I am guessing that the native XML format may not be streamed as-is but will be pre-processed into a final client format by some form of media server. Thoughts ? Neil Smith.
