DOM, SAX and Events

| So, I'm going to move to a DOM representation and do a tree-walk
| instead. I can then revisit subtrees whenever required.  This should
| be no problem to implement, but leads me to wonder whether other
| people have met this same problem, and if so whether it'd be useful
| to have an event driven interface to the DOM?

John Cowan has a DOMParser that walks a DOM tree and fires SAX events
at <URL: http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/>

Also, one strategy I've used in cases where the area that needs to be
repeated is very small is to simply record the SAX events in a vector
and do a sort of playback. (Used this to implement a general SAX
DocumentHandler that chooses between several different DocumentHandlers
based on the name of the document element.)
