Besides the namespace handling issues that were already mentioned on the
list, this is a VERY important reason. In most XML parsers, there is a
substantial amount of overhead related to "initializing" the XML parser, so
this is essentially optimized "out" of most jabber implimentations. In all
jabber clients, you only need a single parser instance per connection.

As far as "how to make it work", I can't speak for JAVA parsers, but often
it's necessary to put some kind of "filter" between the socket and the
parser to pick up <stream:stream>, but it usually depends on the specifics
of the parser.
