Also, anyone interested in making an XMPP library should probably be aware of the development version of HaXml:
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml-devel/
which includes this module:
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml-devel/HaXml/Text-XML-HaXml-SAX.html
"A streaming XML parser, using a method known as SAX. SAX isn't really a standard, but an implementation, so it's just an "SAX-like" parser. This module allows you parse an XML document without having to evaluate it as a whole. This is needed for protocols like jabber, which use xml streams for communication."
Or perhaps better yet, this one: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml-devel/HaXml/Text-XML-HaXml-ParseLazy.html Through the Power of Haskell - LAZY DOM! NB: xmpp clients are required to not attempt error recovery, so the "weakness" of ParseLazy is relatively inconsequential. Stefan
