Good thing you mentioned our import tag here, maybe we can get more
suggestions :-)

The fact that it uses SAX is not a downside, because you can do xpath
queries to SAX streams too.
I understand that in what you say there is a very interesting
suggestion, and I would like to help do it.
Could you please post an example here?
Also, users, what would you like to see in an <import> top-level tag?
