Unfortunately your understanding of the code is correct, you have to
load the whole buffer and only then try to load it with gdome2. A
step-by-step approach is possible if you use libxml2 API directly, or if
you try to make the guess yourself by looking at how the document begins
(if I remember right a description of how an XML processor recognizes
the very first part of the document is given in the XML spec.).

The load/save API implemented in gdome2 is not based on any standard
interface. There have been long term plans to provide gdome2 with a more
flexible interface but time-constraints and the likely difficulties of
implementig such interface in C have delayed the project.
