;;; Commentary:

;; This uses xmltok.el to do XML parsing. The fundamental problem is
;; how to handle changes. We don't want to maintain a complete parse
;; tree.  We also don't want to reparse from the start of the document
;; on every keystroke.  However, it is not possible in general to
;; parse an XML document correctly starting at a random point in the
;; middle.  The main problems are comments, CDATA sections and
;; processing instructions: these can all contain things that are
;; indistinguishable from elements. Literals in the prolog are also a
;; problem.  Attribute value literals are not a problem because
;; attribute value literals cannot contain less-than signs.
;;
;; Our strategy is to keep track of just the problematic things.
;; Specifically, we keep track of all comments, CDATA sections and
;; processing instructions in the instance.  We do this by marking
;; the first character of these with the generic string syntax by setting
;; a 'syntax-table' text property in `sgml-syntax-propertize'.
;;
;; Thus to parse some random point in the file we first ensure that we
;; have scanned up to that point.  Then we search backwards for a <.
;; Then we check whether the < has the generic string syntax.  If it
;; does we go backwards to first character of the generic string (this
;; character must be a <).  Then we start parsing forward from the <
;; we have found.
;;
;; The prolog has to be parsed specially, so we also keep track of the
;; end of the prolog in `nxml-prolog-end'. The prolog is reparsed on
;; every change to the prolog.  This won't work well if people try to
;; edit huge internal subsets. Hopefully that will be rare.
;;
;; We rely on the `syntax-propertize-function' machinery to keep track
;; of the changes in the buffer.  Fontification also relies on correct
;; `syntax-table' properties.  This means that scanning for these
;; constructs had better be quick.  Fortunately it is. Firstly, the
;; typical proportion of comments, CDATA sections and processing
;; instructions is small relative to other things.  Secondly, to scan
;; we just search for the regexp <[!?].
