Ah, my apologies, I meant in the way that "actions" in the
pattern/action lists get evaluated.  Since Action modules are
themselves SAX handlers (push), any actions in the pattern/action list
must rely on push behavior as well.

If an Action module were written to use a pull parser, then actions
would be evaluated in a pull environment.

Odd that those would get rearchived,
