See my code in pear/PECL/soap/php_xml.c that already ties the libxml io
layer into php streams.
(php_stream_xmlIO_XXX and the xmlRegisterInputCallbacks() call in
soap.c)

This allows opening of any URL supported by streams; I don't think that
the library allows you pass a handle that has already been opened, but I
could be wrong.
