hi,

unfortunately not as this only works for DTD (DOCDECL)

to support walking XML tree (including finding
referenced nodes) you need to keep whole XML in memory
and that typically require document object model
(such as DOM, JDOM or my XmlPullNode).

if you wanted to do it with XML pull parser
then parser would have to keep all read elements (to resolve
backward references) and to read ahead to find
forward references - pretty much disabling any streaming ...
