+<dd>
+  <p>The revised API will need to support some way to interrupt
+  processing without having to parse all XML text passed to the parser
+  so far.  This can be done by either using a pull-based model or a
+  push-based model (similar to the current API) with the added ability
+  to suspend parsing on request.</p>
+
+  <p>The specific API will depend on the model selected; either a
+  pull-based model or an suspension model can support each other with
+  little additional work, and the current push model can be built on
+  top of either.</p>
+
+  <p>The specific model and API will be discussed on the <a href=
