I didn't know about the XmlTextReader, so I read stuff about it [0]
-- and it looks good to me. (Python already supports it.)
The C# page [1] says: "This class provides forward-only, read-only
access to a character stream of XML data. This class enforces the
rules of well-formed XML but does not perform data validation."
Laurent, have you begun with the wellformedness validation stuff, too?
cheers,
