Perhaps StartStartTag or StartTagOpen or whatever can return an opaque
element reference (could be a pointer to an internal structure or simply 
a nesting stack level count) which is then passed to StartTagClose and EndTag
to allow early detection of mismatches.  A bit more lightweight than
passing the element name + namespace gubbins and maybe having to do
string compares.
