Parse a stream of XML and return the list of method definitions defined therein. The parsing is very relaxed. The xml may, but needn't be namespace-qualified, and will only be validated according to the rules implied below in parentheses.

 <Method operationName="METHOD_NAME" 
                 label="METHOD_LABEL"(0-1)>
     <UserInputParm parmName="PARAMETER_NAME" 
                       label="PARAMETER_LABEL"(0-1)
                    required="IS_REQUIRED"
                defaultValue="DEFAULT_VALUE">
         <ValidParmValues>(0-1)
             <ValidParm value="VALID_VALUE_1"/>(0-)
         </ValidParmValues>
