[MTOS-dev] XML parsing

[Byrne Reese]

I remember pushing hard for this as well especially because WordPress WXR
files can become quite larger and a DOM parser requires you to parse the
whole document in memory before you can even access its contents.

SAX was the obvious alternative - it meant that there was virtually no size
limit that needed to be imposed on WXR files.

Even WordPress requires that MT import files be less than 2MB. We don't
suffer from that restruction.
