it just keeps changing on me from one version to another ;-)

the issue is i have a socket protocol that delivers xml as a (non \n 
terminated) continuous string.

you have kept changing the way that the base parser handles things...it 
may be fixed in the current version, but with the one shipped with 
1.8.1 it did not work without me changing the behavior of the socket 
(io) prior to passing it to your parsing method.  Specifically I do 
this:

           if REXML::Version=="2.7.3" || REXML::Version=="2.7.4"
             def @stream.read(len=nil)
               len = 100 unless len
               super(len)
             end
             def @stream.gets(char=nil)
               super(">")
             end
             def @stream.readline(char=nil)
               super(">")
             end
             def @stream.readlines(char=nil)
               super(">")
             end
           end

this made things work...but it obviously is a bit weird :-)
