to my knowledge F5's parser is a watered down implementation of expat -which
is
<br>a "stream" parser. The F5 parser doesn't behave like a stream
parser though - it seems
<br>to require receipt of the full doc or null termination before parsing
-though this may be an
<br>illusion wherein parsing actually is event driven ,but the result isn't
yielded 'til completion .
<p>The null terminator may also have been implemented to avoid F5's maximum
processing interval
<br>(app. 15 sec.) - I'll try to find out.

<p>I believe that Flash is using the SAX model. Most flash code
<br>"streamed", meaning it is processed as it is received.</blockquote>

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>It is possible that the "null terminator" is a shortcut
to
<br>determine end-of-tag (instead of actually searching for the
<br>end-of-tag).
