Yes.  In particular, the current model does not support having a single
application (or filter) handle input streams from multiple concurrent
parsers (or filters), since the parser owns the thread of control until the
parse completes.

Rather than changing the callback model, we could implement a compromise
solution:

 - parseInit() // initialize the parse state

 - nextParseEvent() // cause the next event to be delivered via callback

All of the multi-threading logic could be hidden in a layer on top of
existing parsers.
