   I think that using SAX is definitely the better choice than building a
DOM and immediately deleting it and my experience that the transition is
not too difficult - you only need to move the functions you call when
traversing the DOM to the SAX hooks, called at parsing time. I had done
this in Java several times.

  However I think that right now QXml doesn't have SAX functionality
(please correct me if I am wrong) and implementing it is an overkill for
those 20KB of spare memory.
