  Hum, not yet ...
  The simplest to implement this would not be to add a new SAX
callback but rather modify the xmlParserCtxtPtr passed to the
callbacks. The best seems to be:
  - set ctxt->instate to XML_PARSER_EOF
  - hack xmlCurrentChar() to return 0
    if (ctxt->instate == XML_PARSER_EOF)
  Doing both should led to a quick termination of parsing
(but endElement(s)/endDocument will certainly be called anyway).
