But you don't parse the whole file with the XML parser! You do the first 
half of the parsing on your own and passing only chunks of XML data to the 
XML parser.

What's the big advantage here? You do some coding stunt client-wise that is 
hard to understand, when ther server could send easily without any troubles 
at all a serialized and possibly gzipped array.
