I have more (or less) XML data, however it is missing a root element
or, put another way, it is like a sequence of individual XML documents
similar to

  <bla>...</bla>
  <bla>...</bla>
  <bla>...</bla>
  <bla>...</bla>

Trying to parse this with python's inbuilt sax results in an error
message about 'junk after document element', i.e. after the first
</bla>. In a way this is correct because a surrounding root element is
missing. However, is there a way to instruct sax to keep going. Or is
it possible to push a pseudo root element in front of a stream parsed
with

  xml.sax.parse(sys.stdin, ...)
