It's easy to go fast when you throw the XML specification out the 
window. How fast can a non-compliant parser be? Pretty fast. But 
you need to seriously consider the implications of using such a 
parser. If you are in control of the document generation *and* 
can verify that it fits within what is supported by the non-
compliant parser you are using, then this approach is perfectly 
reasonable.
