That's a pretty tough requirement; deterministic timing on arbitrary
input data?

Ok, not _totally_ arbitrary. Still, is there a limit on how many
structures are in the file?
On the other hand, the limit on nesting probably limits any recursion
to a known value; would that be acceptable?

GtkAda comes with a subset XML parser that may meet your needs. I
don't remember if it uses recursion.
