-The results of an attack on a vulnerable XML library can be fairly
-dramatic. With just a few hundred Bytes of XML data an attacker
-can occupy several Gigabytes of memory within seconds. An attacker
-can also keep CPUs busy for a long time with a small to medium size
-request. Under some circumstances it is even possible to access local
-files on your server, to circumvent a firewall, or to abuse services
-to rebound attacks to third parties. This library allows for XML to
-be parsed in a manner that avoids these pitfalls.
