I think this issue needs to be addressed. It may be the case that the stream contains, not one, but many documents, where each information "packet" is a document. Or perhaps the afore-mentioned notion of "document fragment" is introduced, and each packet is a fragment. But it will definitely be necessary to support this kind of processing in some manner.

It's not clear that XML supports infinitely long streams (where the
end-tag of the document element is *never* reached).
