I almost always use sax because of the memory footprint size compared to |
| 10 |
DOM. That said, the XML parsing would have nothing to do with pausing. |

The profile would be parsed to an object if we're loading one and as the |
| 12 |
user goes through the process, instance variables would be filled in in |
| 13 |
the GLIInstallProfile object. Once it was done, a call to serialize() |
| 14 |
will build and write the XML. So, they are 100% separate and one would |
| 15 |
never effect the other. |
