I guess my main point is that the current streaming subset (no 
xpointer scheme) is far from optimal. At best it requires you to 
reload and reparse each document for each xpointer. What actually 
seems to be getting implemented by streaming implementations  is a 
different subset that uses no XPointers at all. I'd like to conisder 
if this should be blessed.
