This was one of my initial concerns on the DOM - I too will be working
on ticker-type streams.
I nearly jumped in early in this conversation to agree with the
'others' - ie the SAX approach is just as important as DOM and the 2
should both be of similar (standards) status.
I held off because I'm new to XML, and I wasn't sure if my alternative
wasn't too obvious to mention.
I thought that each tick should be treated as a document. The client
would have to arrange that each 'document' so received would have to
be built, and then a document fragment extracted and inserted into a
client-held document (updating display etc. via DOM events as
appropriate).
This approach requires the client of the XML data-source to be aware
of this of course, which may be a killer for genericity.
Am I way off base here - and if so, could someone point me to current
thinking on this issue (I've browsed _a lot_ and seen little/nothing).
Thanks
tim

It's not clear that XML supports infinitely long streams (where the
end-tag of the document element is *never* reached).
