http://dotgnu.org/pnetlib-doc/System/Xml/XmlTextReader.html sort of condenses
all I want ...

What I had been planning was to parse till I get a node, stop the parser ,
to support the XmlTextReader.Read() method .. And use ParseChunk to feed 
4k peices from the Stream into the parser rather than attempt a complicated
I/O wrapping routine with delegates ...

Yes ... I'm working with generator.py (slowly...) .. Also I'm trying to
figure out how to generate bindings without any C glue code ... We already
have such a binding for X11 .. The non-glue bindings is what is holding
me back.. Also I'm trying to build it so that a libxml2 dll in Windows
can also be accessed via this API ... 

I'll do it soon enough .. just need to find time :-)
