i would prefer to "fix" the tmapi-utils parser. Not just fixing it, but using latest StAX parser and
api.
This design is easier to understand compared to a callback-handler / stackusing parser.

the goal of tinyTIM was always to be as simple as possible, thats why so many students that started
with topic maps used tinytim and tmapi-utils parser, cause they understood the source code.

i think the adapter (not the mio libraries) could stay as a part of the project, for example as
tinytim-mio-xtm and tinytim-mio-cxtm, but we need to provide a very very simple way of parsing and
writing xtm 1.0/2.0 wihtin the project, with all sources.

So maybe we can migrate the tmapi-utils parser to tinytim project

thoughts?
