class XMLStream(object):
    """
    An XML stream connection manager and event dispatcher.

    The XMLStream class abstracts away the issues of establishing a
    connection with a server and sending and receiving XML "stanzas".
    A stanza is a complete XML element that is a direct child of a root
    document element. Two streams are used, one for each communication
    direction, over the same socket. Once the connection is closed, both
    streams should be complete and valid XML documents.

    Three types of events are provided to manage the stream:
        :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.

    :param socket: Use an existing socket for the stream. Defaults to
                   ``None`` to generate a new socket.
    :param string host: The name of the target server.
