streams should be complete and valid XML documents.
Three types of events are provided to manage the stream:

- Custom -- Triggered manually.
- Scheduled -- Triggered based on time delays.
+ :Stream: Triggered based on received stanzas, similar in concept
+ to events in a SAX XML parser.
+ :Custom: Triggered manually.
+ :Scheduled: Triggered based on time delays.
Typically, stanzas are first processed by a stream event handler which
will then trigger custom events to continue further processing,
especially since custom event handlers may run in individual threads.

- Required for ElementTree.iterparse.
- default_port -- Default port to connect to.
- namespace_map -- Optional mapping of namespaces to namespace prefixes.
- scheduler -- A scheduler object for triggering events
