Fast, Interpreted XML Parsing

I'm in a presentation on a paper called A High-Performance Interpretive Approach to Schema-Directed Parsing (here's the PDF for the paper). Last year these authors presented a fast, validating XML parser (called Screamer) that outperforms Xerces (validating) and Expat (non-validating) by considerable amounts. The problem was that it compiled a custom parser for each XML schema. The fact that it required compiling code made it undeployable with products like DB2 (they work for IBM). This paper presents an interpreted version of Screamer, called iScreamer that is still fast, but doesn't require using a compiler. Instead it produces a parse
