One way would be to install a pass-through SAX handler into your parser, that
sets an eof flag in your input source when it sees the end of document event.
The only problem I see with that is when the parser already read a chunk of
data BEYOND the closing root tag.
So maybe make the parser stop altogether at that point, by throwing your own
exception:
void mySaxHandler::endDocument() {
delegate->endDocument();
throw mySaxEof;
}
