Some parser consumers (seems to be mostly resource inflation) don't use the pull parser up to the END_DOCUMENT tag, making the parser not pop itself from the parser stack automatically. This is likely due to the XML resources being very shallow (1-2 levels max), and the inflater just reading the content that it expects instead of parsing till the document is done. This ensures that *some* parsers are pop'ed from the stack when used. Some other parsers we don't really control and hope the user will parse till END_DOCUMENT.

Layoutlib is a custom version of the android View framework designed to run inside Eclipse. The goal of the library is to provide layout rendering in Eclipse that are very very close to their rendering on devices. None of the com.android.* or android.* classes in layoutlib run on devices.
