--  @module Module providing a non-validating XML stream parser in Lua. 
--  
--  Features:
--  =========
--  
--      * Tokenises well-formed XML (relatively robustly)
--      * Flexible handler based event API (see below)
--      * Parses all XML Infoset elements - ie.
--          - Tags
--          - Text
--          - Comments
--          - CDATA
--          - XML Decl
--          - Processing Instructions
--          - DOCTYPE declarations
--      * Provides limited well-formedness checking 
--        (checks for basic syntax & balanced tags only)
--      * Flexible whitespace handling (selectable)
--      * Entity Handling (selectable)
--  
--  Limitations:
--  ============
--  
--      * Non-validating
--      * No charset handling 
--      * No namespace support 
--      * Shallow well-formedness checking only (fails
--        to detect most semantic errors)
--  
--  API:
--  ====
--
--  The parser provides a partially object-oriented API with 
--  functionality split into tokeniser and handler components.
--  
--  The handler instance is passed to the tokeniser and receives
--  callbacks for each XML element processed (if a suitable handler
--  function is defined). The API is conceptually similar to the 
--  SAX API but implemented differently.
--
--  XML data is passed to the parser instance through the 'parse'
--  method (Note: must be passed a single string currently)
