This is not currently possible, but I'm working toward a streamed model.
I agree that SAX isn't well explained yet, I will try to update the xml.html
example page. Basically it allow to take control of everything except the
core parsing code, and work as callbacks, avoiding the DOM tree building.
In the meantime, have a look at testSAX.c in the tarball.
