Hi Brandon

Yes - that's my impression too.

There is a package for Parsec iteratee package on Hackage that would
presumably support for streaming (thats to say online, or synonymously
- 'piecemeal' / lazy processing). However unless I could find a
tutorial, I'd go with Polyparse or uu-parsinglib (Doaitse Swierstra
has a tech report that gives a very detailed guide to uu-parsinglib).
