Sometimes the XML elements come through a pipe as an endless sequence.
You can still use the wrapping technique and a SAX parser. However, the
other option is to write a tiny XML scanner that identifies the end of
each element. Then, you can cut out the complete XML element and hand it
over to a DOM parser.

Such a scanner can be really small and nonrecursive because of the
welformedness rules of XML.
