I am using XOM's NodeFactory to parse raw HTML. My problem is that I am 
using the body closing tag
as the cue point to start collecting statistics about a page. As you can 
imagine, the existence of multiple body tags
totally screws up my strategy. Is there any way I can look-ahead and see 
if there are any body tags coming down the pipeline?
If I could, I would know if it's time to start the party or not.

Alternatively, is there an event that signals that the XML document is 
over while still inside nodefactory?

Thanks
