Okay. But if you do it when the parent tag is parsed, you have all the information from the child record available also, so you can do both in which ever order makes sense.

But if do the parent before you parsed the child(ren), the child tag might be missing or corrupted, and you'd have then to try and back out the parent record from the DB.
