Antoine, you opted out of the tracker issue but I feel it's fair to let you know that after a lot of discussion with Nick and Stefan (*), we've settled on renaming the input methods to feed & close, and the output method to readevents. We are also considering a different name for the class.

Fair enough.

As for the class name, IncrementalParser is ambiguous because it's not immediately clear which side is incremental. Input or output?

Both are :-)

(which makes sense, really: an incremental input without output will only yield a slight memory consumption benefit - only slight, since the object tree representation should be much more costly than its bytes serialization -; an incremental output without input doesn't seem to have any point at all)

Regards

Antoine.
