What was the largest nesting level you've ever seen in a document?  
Really? The stack overflows only at level 20000 or so. It's a  
complete non-issue, but the code is greatly more complicated (and  
even slower) by the iterative approach. XOM attempts to cater to  
bogus requirements here. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again.
