ifcXML text to Model.

Uses quick-xml’s pull parser: an IFC file can be very large, so the document is never materialized as a tree.

Unknown elements and attributes are preserved rather than rejected, on the same principle as the STEP reader: a file containing entities from a schema we do not know must still round-trip.

Functions§

Cheap sniff: does this look like an XML document?
