There is one case, which we did not implement yet although, that justify=20
having a state : libxml propose an interface, xmlParseChunk, that allow to=
=20
parse a document by small pieces. With a Parser class it will be easy and=20
natural to have, for exemple, two parsers building two document at the same=
=20
time without interfering. Even if it's a rare case, there is not much to do=
=20
to make it possible with a parser object, while having a function would for=
ce=20
us to add a state.
