XML Questions

Regarding the sample output I sent ...

Will most XML tools allow "streaming" input (eg they can process each
<host> ... </host> entity as they come even though everything is in an
<nmaprun> ... </nmaprun> top level tag.  Or should I avoid top level tags
to ensure that programs can parse Nmap output "on the fly" using commonly
available XML libraries/tools?

Obviously Nmap can take an extended perios to run and tools should be able
to process each host as it is scanned.

Cheers,
